Removing the Torx Screws

I modified a Torx TX40 bit for the next step (i.e. cut it down to ½” length with an angle grinder); it had to be done as clearance is tight getting onto the timing belt cover bolts. Raise the engine and then remove the three top bolts. In the pic you can see the shortened torx bit taped into a ¼” combination spanner. I won’t pretend it’s dead simple getting these bolts out, it’s quite fiddly getting to the front and rear ones. Once they are out, lower the engine and remove the bottom torx screw – this is the last one holding the belt cover on.
