Steering Knuckle Studs Torx Socket?

[Nay]

I am getting ready to replace all of my steering knuckle studs with the new factory torx head style. In other threads I have read that the right socket is the female (obviously) torx #10. I can't find any in the stores and am getting ready to order, is the right socket the "E10" as in "External #10"?

Thanks!

I got the E12 socket at the local Napa, if you don't want to wait shipping from Marlin.

I used a 9mm 12 point wrench on mine.

That works too but it does not distribute the force as effectively.

Sears has them as well.

I spent several days looking for an E12 socket...

You can use mine if you can't find one faster locally. Let me know.

I ordered one from Sears, it was $3.99 plus shipping. Marlin wanted $20 for shipping for a socket
