Hi folks - i'm gonna re-new my Dis packs and plugs on my motor;facelift v6 2.6. Could any of you guys please tell me what size and what are the bolts holding the packs on? - are they torx? or something else? and can they be gotten from Halfords?
2ndly, any good tips for getting oil out of the plug wells?    - cheers guys - TIA

Bolts require an E10 torx socket.... you can get said socket from halfrauds or any tool place


Oil in plug wells - you can get some really good hand powered vaccum pumps, that will empty them!!

wow......quick off the mark James...thanks very much matey 

o BTW....is Vx dealership recommended for the Dis packs? or can they be gotten from factors?

I found it difficult to get the torq socket down the side of the support bracket, so I ended up using a 1/4" 8mm deep socket. It fits perfectly onto the torq bolts and found it easier

But you have a 2.6 and dis packs are bolted to top of rocker covers, 8mm deep socket yes for the 2.5/3.0 dis packs is better

I use the exact same thing

When I recently changed my dispack I replaced the torx screws with cap screws. It's loads easier to get a long reach allen key in there than a socket.
