Need help with star bolt

[PAULSPEED]

I want to replace this part.

It is held in with two bolts but they are not torx bolts.

Can anyone tell me what socket I need to remove these bolts?

Thanks,

Paul

The history of the triple square says that it

is a high torq bolt.

So the next question is, what are the torq value for

the door latch part?

Thanks again,

Paul

Thanks Loren.

I would of guess about 45 ft-lbs. Why

would they go to all that work to

add a high torq bolt.

That sure isn't high when the wheels are

torq to 95 ft-lbs.

My friend has a cup car and we torq the nut that

holds the wheel on at 250 ft-lbs. We use

a 5 foot torq wrench to get it torq.
