hi
just doing a driveshaft on my '88 230TE, offered up an 8mm Allen key, seemed to fit but couldn't get it to drive, on closer examination its like a 12-point star - this is 'TORX drive' , right? Only seen tiny ones on electronics before! Need to buy one to get the shafts out, but not sure how to size it, if it's nearly 8mm Allen, do I need '8mm TORX'?
Are there many of these on the car? Wondering about getting a set, or just one to do the driveshaft...
cheers!
