Torx wrench (socket) E5

Hi all. I posted a while back re the ABS module. I have decided to have Vic do it but cannot find the Torx wrench (socket) E5. Vic is away right now. Does anyone know where I can find the Torx wrench E5 to remove the module?
Thanks,
Jen

    I just did this repair as well. Vic does a great job. I live in a relatively rural area and looked at all the on-line sources for an E5, but was not thrilled at the prices. I then called some local auto parts stores, and found an E5 at an independent store for $2.50! A real bargain. It worked great and the repaired ABS module has been fine for three days now.

    In case you are located in CT, I found the socket at MacDonald's Auto parts i Torrington.

      Torx wrench (socket) E5

      Had to call over town but finally found it in a 10 Torx socket set (E5 being the smallest and E20 the largest), locally (in Knoxville, TN) at National Car Parts. If you have one of those in your area, you might try calling them. A company by the name of ATD makes it and it's part number ATD-178. Cost was about $20. May never use the other sockets but I have them for other possible future use, and the E5 worked fine.

      Word of caution...had several places I called tell me, "yeah, we have it." and when I drove out to their store and looked at the 5 piece set they were selling (including Sears), the smallest was an E6...so if you call and they say they have it, ask them to actually go and look on their shelf, and emphasize, "you sure the smallest you have isn't an E6?"

      Good luck!
