Can anyone tell me which bit I need to remove the screws on these for a Chevy Uplander (same strap as the Buick Rendezvous) looks like a security torx

I have a 2005 Montana, and it was a regular torq socket. i think it was a t-35 or a t-40. but it wasn't a security one, at least not on mine. Alan

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

Torx 6 will remove the screws holding this on - sorry, did not have my screwdriver set handy to give you this info till now. If you are sort of carrying it concealed - best to leave the clip on since that shows outside the pocket and then is not concealed.

Yes I installed it on a 2005 Uplander. Uses a t-30 torx screwdriver or bit. Perfect match.

bring it to only hardware store, if you have the screws you can match the proper ones, if you don't just see which ones screw into the threaded holes. anyone at any hardware store had been more than helpful to help me find what I'm looking for. so don't be afraid to ask for some help.

Any standard screwdriver bit will work. You can buy them almost anywhere. Double ended bit did not work when I tried one. There isn't enough of a collar on the bit for the driver's nose to hold onto securely.

there are two type of fasteners, coarse thread "screw like" and machine thread "finer thread", by removing one from your auto you can verify correct type.

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

Just the proper size "Torx" tool is all you need to disassemble the old units and mount the new ones. It helps the operation if someone holds the lid while doing the work! Good luck! P.S. With the new StrongArms mounted, my lid goes up by itself!! Very good items. V. Tora

If you're talking the flat, round torx screw, you'll likely have to contact the manufacturer. If that doesn't work I'd buy another for $15 and keep the other as parts.

I got mine at Fastenal. here's their site... http://www.fastenal.com/web/home ...They had a local retailer about 5 miles from where I live. My review on the rail lists the proper screw size. Take your original screws there just in case. When you're done installing, loctite the crap out of it.

those are the bushings for the top threaded pin. the bottom is the stock replacement size by vehicle.

I found a micro screwdriver bit set at Menards which included an SD6 size torx bit...that's the size needed. At the time the little kit was on sale for, I think, $1.99. I no longer have the knife on hand to double check this size bit (gave it to my son as a gift) but I am almost certain #6 is what you need. If I'm wrong, I apologize!

2 tips for slotted screws, 4 phillips, 4 torx, and 2 square drive. I have a photo but not seeing where I can download it for you.

No. Torx bits with holes are security bits; this kit does not have security bits.

I am of no help. They were a direct replacement on my fathers Buick Lesabre or Century I believe with the factory air levelling system. They are much nicer than and have a different design than aftermarket plain airshocks.

I put them on my 2000 Firebird and one end is a 'ball joint' socket with a clip and the other end is for a bolt (Torx head in my case - had to go to store to get a set of large Torx adapters). At the time they were listed somewhere as usable for my model, but according to Monroe, I should be using 901034's (even though my model is listed under the 901032 also). I used these because they were much cheaper (at least at the time I bought them - like 11 bucks ea in 9/2011 - probably a mistake or overstock then).Had to remove most of my plastic side trim panels to get at the Torx head (body) end.
