[W126 Coupe] diff removal

Sounds like a Torx head to me.  You can find them at Sears or any tool store.

Subject: [W126 Coupe] diff removal

I'm trying to remove the diff from one of my 126 parts cars (88 SEC). The two front bolts are allen bolts and I got them out. But the larger rear one is a star shaped bolt - any idea the exact size (I think its around a 9mm?) and where the heck I can get the bit/tool that fits in there? I ran to Sears just as it was closing last night when I realized I needed a special part (I was afraid of using an allen key and rounding it out) but they didn't have any star shaped bits (its not the socket bit I need - its not a bolt head, its a hole which is star shaped).

Thanks,
Markus Meyer
