Beauty Ring Bolts

It is a regular torx bolt (not torx plus). T45 = Torx 45
not TP45, not Torx Plus 45

Thanks, I have one on the wheel that is not T45, the others were but I have one that is stripped.. so looking to have it replaced.

I hear that an off-the-shelf replacement bolt is hard-to-find as the button head diameter is smaller than standard M10X1.5X25. I think the Ford bolt is $12/ea. Many folks have stripped bolts from using impact wrench/electric drills rather than loosening manually with socket wrench, bolt has a loctite equivalent that must break free first. Use an anti-seize when reinstalling, torque isn't too important, beauty ring is just decorative.

Awesome, thanks this is what i needed. I used a T45 bit to remove 11 bolts by hand and the last one was not a T45 and nothing i had fit but it's definitely stripped
