Check out these ABS Module Torx Bolts
MVS contributor CN90 made a discovery: if you can’t get your Volvo P80 model ABS module out, try an E6 socket. CN90 writes:
Exact same issue for me, three (3) out of four (4) E5 bolts came off, but the last bolt, bottom near the firewall was stripped. I have tried both E5 and 5/32″ sockets to no avail. I was about to give up, or to try dremel tool (a PITA due to awkward angle). Did I mention I almost swear?
Relax, I looked at the bolt head, believe it or not the Torx area is tapered with the outer part of the head being E5 but the inner part near the “washer” portion is E6. Out of desperation, I tried E6 socket and it worked!!!
So guys, use E6 socket as you wish!
