What size is the torx socket that holds the dipstick tube to the engine block on a 97 4.0 l? I need to order one because my dipstick handle broke off and now the dipstick stuck in the tube...

Thanx!

You want to order a single torx bit vs a kit with several sizes?

You'll be better off with the kit as theres several sizes on the XJ.

Ya I ended up borowing the neighbours across the street, I stripped the head tho cause it was so damn tight. I ended up taking a hack saw to the bracket...

Maybe its pressed in. Chrysler has a thing about pressing in bolts and putting torx heads on them, just to throw you off. Im not 100% sure though because I have never had to take the dipstick tube off. Glad you got it off though.

I wish a good swift kick to the nuts to the engineers that decide to use Torx bolts instead of the normal kind.

I bought a set of ACE hardware torx for like 12bucks a few years ago, work great just get some cheapo ones.

You did specify torx socket. I thought you meant torx bit. Great. now I have to get a set of torx sockets too. lol. just get the set.

yeah the torx head was way to small for the size bolt it was..... It sucks I had to cut it off, Ill have to rig up a new braket now as the old one is zap strapped together, lol.

Thanks
