C5 hub/bearing T-55 Bolts
I've taken the LF hub/bearing assembly off at least 3x now. How long do you keep reusing the same T-55 bolts? The "spline" on my T-55 "bit" is starting to deform.

It is time to replace the bolts and your tool. Each time the bolt is torqued, it slightly deformes the threads and puts a lot of stress on them. Bolts are cheap, damage from a hub that comes loose at speed is not.

Get rid of that Torx junk, Gary's 12 point socket head set up is way better not to mention the high grade strenght.
