Does anybody know what size torx bit is needed for the front drive shaft. I need to remove it so I can find that dang grease hole.

Not sure of the size, but make sure you heat the bolt/flange area up enough to help the loctite let go. If you warm it up good, the bolts remove easily, if not, you are going to twist the sockets out of the bolt. I replaced mine with hex heads. Good luck.

I thought it was a #45, but I'm not sure. I replaced mine with hex nuts also, I hate torx.
