I picked up a Lisle brand torx bit, would not fit with ratchet attached so i ground it down and welded it in a spare 1" wrench i had. I can add a pipe to the other end if i need more leverage.

Re: HELP: Oil Filter Adapter Question - one more question
Does the cross hole in the adapter bolt have to be aligned with filter shaft ?
Did o-ring change yesterday on my 96 (Torx), it does take a couple of hours together with oil change, if you are lazy and do not take starter off and away.
Used one BIG t60 key to loosen the bolt and a small bit with a small ratchet to drive it most of the way, then small bit and a wrench for the last few turns.

i took my T60 torox bit threw it in a vice and ground down 4 flats on one part of it to fit a 3/4 inch wrench and then hacked off the entire 1/2inch drive end making it about alittle more then 1/2 inch shorter.... going to test this out tomrorow and see if it was worth it of if i wasted 5.95$ lol did some dry fitting today though and it looks like ill have plenty of clearance... or a bigger hammer.
