I'm trying to change out my auto transmission but i'm stuck on the two top bolts with the torx 12 pt. head's my gear wenchs with the flex heads and my 3/8 12 pt. socket's seem to just spin on the bolt head . anyone have ideal on how to get this two lose.
when i go to put it back in do i need to put these to bolts in ?

 

they make special torx sockets for those if a 12point wont work sure the the right size socket you attempting to extract them with

 

You need an E12 socket. It's an extrenal torx.. Sears, Hardware store etc usually has these.

 

the only place I was able to score mine was the auto parts store, pep boys, autozone etc. its a e12 like stated above. its a internal torx the only thing that will work for me is like 18" of wobbler extensions. All of the ones that I have done the initial crack of the bolt is tough and then they thread right out easily.
