    Default Where to get E12 torx socket for head removal?

    The torx socket I have won't reach past the cam to let me get the head bolts off. Is there a Sears or somesuch brand that will work? Otherwise, where do you get a tool that will remove them? I've done without all the other "special" BMW tools so far and I would rather not take the cams off while still in the car if i can avoid it.

    Default Its a OTC 5940 if you have a tool dealer nearby that

    carries otc tools. around 18 or so. Or you can get a strip of the them from sears , this set was on sale last week for 19.99

    Now they are back up to 39.99 unless you have a local sale on them.
