Its either a Torx 20 or 25 but its a security torx has the hole in the center of it.

My IRS brace took me about 2 hours with the car on jack stands and hand tools. not too hard just meticulous work. Follow the directions!!! Makes things alot easier!!!

Passenger side cat-back has to come off, and the housing needs to be loosened from its mounts. It needs to be tilted so you can get all the bolts in. sometimes a hole or two need to be tapped with the tap they bundle in with the brace.

Yea its fairly simple Billetflow has good instructions. Its just a matter of undoing the PIG and tilting it a little. There is one polt that is a major Pain I think the #7, but they explain in the instructions how to do it.

When I had mine I just dropped the whole thing and did it. Roll that pig out on a rolling jack and work on it right from there and roll it right back into place when done. Take out the diff mounting bolts and a little jack under it to bring it up out of the cradle and didnt have one problem. Figured what the hell, redo the bushings, diff fluid and seal. Cleaned it all up perdy and back in.
He is talking about the rear diff brace... correct?
