Default Torx size for rear wheel bearing bolts.

What is the Torx size for rear hub bearing bolts on a 05 C6?

t-50, at least that's what we use for a C5.

You're right. :o

Mine is so worn, I couldn't read the size on it plainly, I put it in better light and it's a T-55.

Was doing this last weekend as part of my ball joint replacement phase of my project.

Mine were torqued in really tight.
Had to use the pneumatic impact wrench at full 90 psig at full 300 ft lbs torque to get at least 3 of them out (did both spindles in the back).

The really tough ones were recessed into the spindle.

Yep T-55...I keep a couple spares as they break from time to time.

They have lock-tite on them, use a little bit of heat on the bolts and they come out pretty easy. Make sure they go back in with lock-tite on them and I generaly re-check them after the first drive cycle just to be sure.
