Guys,

Thanks for the input and I am off to the local Autozone. I think there are some CarQuest Auto Parts places local also, so I will be checking them too. I found a single Snap-On "double-hex" bit at 8mm, and a "triple square" one at 10mm. The manual suggests I may have M10 or M12. So, I am off to find the M10 and M12 bits, and now a E12 Torx socket. Thanks for the help, Jim
