seat belt bolts, or maybe the screws that hold the TPS to the throttle body, all of which use loctite

How about the two inverted Torks bolts that attach the bell housing to the block.

Hey Scott00tj, is this supposed to be one of those brain teasers with a big prize to the winner?
My guess is the T-60 for the oil filter adapter.

No specific part today, just over all as I work on the Jeeps and have to deal with them.

Here's an old trick that has helped me get a ton of torx bolts (even with loctite on them) out without damage or hassle (if the bolt heads are accessible):
Get your soldering iron out, plug it in, and hold the tip of your iron in the torx star. 30 to 45 seconds is normally enough to heat the loctite/metal/rust, allowing you to easily break the torx bolt free. I use this method all the time, and have yet to break a bolt or bit.
(Disclaimer: For you poor bastards in the rust belt, the only cure is to MOVE out of the rust belt.
)
