I did find the giant torx, but I've used an Allen wrench in a torx head bolt with some amount of limited success.

 

Do you remember the torx size?

Try a Harbor Freight store if you have one. Most of their chinese made tools aren't for real mechanics--but for "single-use" kind of jobs--and some auto parts stores: AutoZone, O'Reiley's, etc.

OK, just checked mine--that bolt(s) is larger than a T50, BUT smaller than a T60. I don't know if there's a T55. At this point in time, I'd try a larger set of allen wrenches, both SAE and metric.

OK, there is a T55--here's a link to ebay: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=t55+torx

 

Alright, thanks for that info. Ill have to check a place to "rent the tool" for an hour or so.

I asked this a while back but nobody ever responded even after several "bumps." Hope you get an answer cuz I would like to know as well.

 

Just found out. Along with the poster above you, and a guy from discount auto who happened to walk into my work, they both said the 55. The dca guy said jeep uses 55's for a lot of things, including tops to wranglers etc.

Seems like we need to add a "T55" to our tool box...

 

Yeah, just to be on the safe side. The guy told me that it was like $5 and it fit the socket wrench.

 

When I get to work tomorrow I'll find out for sure.

 

now that you know its a T55 Torx... why did you want to remove the seat? theres not much room under there for installing anything?

 

Checking for myself, and doing a nice vacuum.

. . . and doing a nice vacuum.

And Wifey says I'm meticulous! You put me to shame.

 

The 55 did fit. I test fit it before I bought it, later today I will remove it and take the measurements I need and then vacuum and put it back together.

 

if you can, please take a couple of pics of the space under the seat

 

Will do. Planning on documenting it all and taking measurements.

Well, I was very disappointed at my discovery of absolutely no room. But $20 in tools later, I hope I helped a few people.

Tools used: A t-55 (for the lower portion), and a 19mm socket for the back
(*MUST BE MORE THAN 1 INCH LONG***)(located in spare well)

Pictures: (some include just random measurements for as needed)

 

Thanks for posting this. What is that thing in the 4th pic?

 

Harbor freight has a set of Torx socket tips that include a T55---the whole set of about 8 or 10 is $10.

 

The 4th picture, is under the bigger cover, I'm not sure of what it was but just for reference.

That's the Gas Tank and Fuel Pump/Sending Unit.
