Default What tool is required to remove sway bar chassis mount - AU2 / 3

Hi Guys

As title says, what tool is used to remove the two mounts that hold the sway bar to the chassis?

We are talking about AU2/3 Falcon.

THanks in advance!

They are a standard torx bit - size T-50, IIRC.

I'm not 100% on the size though, so don't thank me yet. It may be a T-35, not a T-50. I can confirm on Friday if you like.

if you check that it would be great JC. The reason I ask is because my car is at the painters and i have to go to Pick and Pay less to get the mounts and i want to make sure I have the correct tools...

Cheers
