Zetec cam gear bolts
Why the hell did ford ever make them cam gear bolts with a torx on it for. Why couldn't it be a normal bolt head. They are so hard to remove. Does anyone know if an impact gun is good to un do them, it only ever sheers if I'm using a breaker bar

Re: Zetec cam gear bolts
Larger surface area means you can get more torque on, torx fasteners are very good, though it's usually a good idea to tap the bits in to make sure they site securely (and helps jog the bolts free).
Nothing to see here...
