E20 torx......


what am i thinking of that needs 30mm....?

Also 30nm for cooler bolts? 1 of the last ones snapped on reuse - torqued to 30nm and they werent overtightened - could that be because they were reused?

Got brand new ones...or can i get away with torquing them to 28 or so to avoid a repeat?

Thanks  :y

absolutely spot on with the new bolts - i went back and removed cooler bolts and replaced with new ones and also did th bridge bolts  :y

I havent turned my attention yet to crank, want to get the top end back together first. Gave up - sore and hungry - trying to put air intakes back on....they are a pain.

So tomorrow i should crack intake system, and plug the coolant system back in and fill her up. Then onto trying to remove those two stubborn crank bolts. Water pump done too.

Must admit not looking forward to tomorrows jobs and on top of that i have to reassemble the aux belt  ::) the pully bolts are in an unbelievable position!!

Huge thanks today, and yesterday to Mark DTM - Priceless advice as ever  :)

ok the update to this.... :(

I cant get the cover plate for crank off - still two remaining bolts. e12 takes them off - no chance.

Iv tried freeze and release ive tried penetrating fluid overnight. Ive tried the biggest breaker bar i have ( 2 feet)

clearly there over tightened, and air tooled i bet.

So what now.....any other thoughts to removing them - untill i do i cant get it to tdc to check that timing... :-/
