Default wheel bearing bolts

anybody get rid of the torx head bolts holding in the rear wheel bearing assembly. It must be easier with a regular plain hex head.
I have them out now, and if I can find grade 8 bolts with the proper thread, those torx heads are gone !!!

Larry.
thinking of future wheel bearing changes.

No, I kept the OEM 55 Torx bolts. Seem to work fine so far, so why change...? :cheers:

I'm actually glad they're Torx head bolts myself. The T55 driver will center itself a lot easier than a socket will and make it easier to turn the bolt rather than stripping the bolt head with that length of extension needed to get all the way back in there.
