i have to replace the oil pump in my ranger, i am doing it in my drive way, with the engine in the truck, i have removed the transmission ,and the top of the oilpan is hitting the flywheel when i try to remove it, i need to remove the flywheel but the 8 bolts on it look like torx head bits, do you know what size these are so i can buy just the torx socket i need instead of a full set ?

Is it a torx? If it is, chances are it is around a t-45, but honestly, I've never seen them use torx to install a flywheel.

Let me know.
