Odometer gear replacement 850 1995

I am in the process of replacing my gears on the odometer for my 95 850 GLT.

I have the entire odometer out, the outer housing off, and am trying to get the actual gear mechanism out of the unit.

I believe that I need to remove three very small torx head screws (silver in color) from the back of the unit.

Does anyone know the size of the torx for this ? The smallest that I have right now is a T-10. I will buy one, but was wondering if anyone knew the actual size.

Thanks

    I believe these are not torx but very small phillips head screws.

    Looks like it may be a #8 Torx.

    Have a look at the comments appearing on this web page:
    http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-850/Interior/Odometer-Repair-Kit/p-72-158-406/

    This is a quote from that page:

    "13800 Reviewed by JOHN G from VA
    The kit with CD made the repair fairly straight forward. I have a 95 850 Turbo and had a couple of minor changes from the CD instructions. In addition to the two connectors at the top of the instrument panel, I had a third connector in the center of the multi-function display. Similar to the review from person that had the 93 850, I also had small philips head screws retaining the odometer vice the #8 Torx referenced in the CD."

    Had you seen this tutorial? http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/2005/01/01/interior-seats-dash-remotes-switches-odometer-fix-how-to/

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the help. They are a number 8 Torx head.
      Project completed with very little problems.
      Most of the time involved was in winding off about 25,000 miles. Took about an hour with the drill method.
