All, this is part of my AC on my 2010 mini sport... this is actually right behind the front of the engine. I need to replace this part (64-53-9-224-860) with a new one. The old one was ruptured with previous owner. I'm just stuumped on how to get access and remove it. I was able to remove the hex screw on the other end, but not sure on this one... thanks in advance.

 

pretty darn thin thin wall socket do the job?

 

@BigDog9721 ,

I'd use an E-Torx socket. I haven't seen any thin wall deep sockets in my life. Otherwise every socket would crack due to thinness


E-Torx socket

 

Well actually a 10 mm long socket did the trick, the E6 torx did loosen it up but i really don't know what that one does... I was able to pull the a/c line and order a new one... hopefully my a/c will be back in order just in time for winter! LOL!

 

You definitely have some E--bolts throughout the vehicle and you're going to need them at some point.

 

Yoshimura-1, I'm glad i have the e-torx sockets... .I'm just not sure what the E6 connection to that a/c line on top of the 10mm bolt does.... any ideas?
