JasonNagra · 11-04-2003, 02:37 PM

I have seen the Torx bits at Sears everytimr I have gone there. I bought them, used them, and then returned them.

Johny5 · 11-04-2003, 03:59 PM

they only have t-40 and smaller in tamperproof at sears. remember, tamperproof not just reg torx bits

JasonNagra · 11-04-2003, 05:23 PM

Nope I used T50 tamper proof for friends S14 and I got it from Sears

SimpleS14 · 11-04-2003, 06:07 PM

I bought my T-50 tamper proof bit from NAPA

tsunami0ne · 11-04-2003, 07:19 PM

i dont think you're looking hard enough. go to kragens. that's where I got my set. i dont think they sell them individually at kragens though.

meme · 11-04-2003, 11:19 PM

for south cali people; i have the tool just let me know and i will let you use it.

Johny5 · 11-05-2003, 11:59 AM

i'm calling napa and a couple other parts stores today for that bit. you bet your ass if they don't have it then you're so getting whined at over the internet!!!11~~

Johny5 · 11-05-2003, 02:30 PM

HAH HA H HAH HAH HAH

call up sears, they "have" the part, i haul ass up there smiling.

ITS A REGULAR FUCKING TORX BIT. i made sure to ask that stupid pantywaste if it had a hole in the middle of the torx star and he said yes. people are goddamn worthless.

screw this bit, nissan can go to hell.

JasonNagra · 11-05-2003, 02:32 PM

Wow that sucks. Looks like TX sucks!

SoCal seems to have em...

Johny5 · 11-05-2003, 02:36 PM

when it comes down to it, shouldn't nissan just get off their goddamn asses and carry parts like this? its like the locks on the rear brake calipers, its a hard to find tool, SO SELL THE GODDAMN THING.

blxmjx · 11-05-2003, 03:19 PM

just get the bit from the local Snap-On truck. That's where I got mine. They regularly stock that bit.

Johny5 · 11-05-2003, 03:20 PM

wth, where do i find the damn snap-on truck?

JasonNagra · 11-05-2003, 03:38 PM

If you want to go through snap-on go to the website and setup a reversation for the trcuk to come by. The driver will come to you and sell you th ebit out of the truck. It will be convenient but will be a little spendy since snap-on are the highest quality tools available (IMO).

blxmjx · 11-05-2003, 04:38 PM

just ask your local shop. Most shops use some snap on tools of some sort. Find out when the truck is stopping by next. I picked up the bit from the snap on guy for $20.

big mike · 11-05-2003, 08:43 PM

I might be getting a replacement steering wheel for my 92, and i'm looking for ideas- hey johnny5 what are you using?

Johny5 · 11-06-2003, 01:22 AM

Be lazy, just ask someone from the board that's lives near you if you can use theirs.

sorry to bring up this old thread, but I have some info for anyone that might be in search for this bit in the future. Recently I have misplaced mine and ordered a new one from http://www.mcmaster.com/

The final price with shipping included cost just under $6.00 and I recieved it in 2 business days after I placed the order.
