Injector Hold Down Bolt Size?
Getting ready to pull an injector in my 6.0 had on fail on me. Being a mechanic myself mainly marine Detroits and MTU's I feel it should be no problem. However my mechanic friend said its no big deal as long as you have a long shank torx to reach the hold down easier. He couldnt remember the size. Does anyone know so I can have it before I start the job...
Thanks

Long shank Torx (apprx 3 inch)
IIRC - T40 socket for early model years (production prior to 9/29/2003) and T45 for commonized engines (commonized began in 2006).
Unbolting the oil rails requires a T30.
Here is a good FTE thread if you are interested:
