security bit?
security bit? When looking to take apart the C5 TB, I found its held together with what looks like a torx that has a post in the center of it.
Checked Sears hardware and they stated it was a security bit and that I would probably have to get it form GM. Checked with the local dealer and they stated that they had no idea where to get one.
Where can I locate one?
Thanks,

Re: security bit? McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) has them (I don't know if they sell to individules though - it might be strickly to buisiness). 55515A22 is $10.52 and is just like an fold-up allen wrench set (but it's torx).
Re: security bit? I have had to um..............."modify" tools before had to make some too. You would be all right as long as you had a decent bit and you probaly would want to use a press so u get it straight.

Re: security bit? used alot in the Audio Industry...try a Music Store(that sells guitars/basses/speaker/amps) and tell them you need a middle atlantic security bit.... I use them all the time when I install rack gear and the Purchaser is worried about theft or tampering.
