Removing camshaft gear issues

Post by somethin2do »

My cam hub needs what looks like an e14 torx socket to remove. Bentley and write ups actually show a torx wrench (male) yet I need a torx socket (female). Using a e14 I am slipping on that bolt and it seems as though it's about ready to he stripped.

Any suggestions ? Is it actually an e14 or is this a specialty tool ?

Definitely was stripped. Had to hammer on a 8mm extractor to get it off.
