Wheel Hub Assembly Removal
I am tearing apart the rear end of 1987 Corvette and have tripped over some weird bolts. :confused:
The wheel hub assembly is held on by three Torx bolts. I have all sizes up to T50. Does anyone know what size that bolt is? T55? T60?
Thanks as always.

Yes, it's a T55. For me they were the hardest part. I couldn't get them off at first, even with my crummy impact wrench. After I let them soak overnight in liquid wrench I was able to get them off with a breaker bar. Other than that, the job wasn't that difficult. You're also going to need a 36mm socket for the hub nut. That sucker was on really tight, but I put my floorjack under the handle of the breaker bar and it came right off without any strain.
