upper intake plenum 351w

Anyone know the torx bit size? Hopefully i can still get it out. My friend used the wrong sized and stripped out a lot of the bolt. It looks to be a t35?

It doesn't seem to be any size i have. Also why the heck do they put it in the hardest spot to get? I'm trying to pull it off to sell. Luckily the guy is in no rush to get the plenum.

It's a T40 Torx and it has to be on a 1/4 drive with a 6" extension.

If you want to avoid this happening in the future, just leave that bolt out when you put it back together. It's not really needed as long as you have the other 5 bolts in and torqued to spec.

Another suggestion... take a die grinder or dremmel tool and remove the casting ridges around the runner split to make getting the bolt in and out much easier.
