I'm in need of the proprietary star bit that comes with the Stage 2 kit and goes with the GM S2 blue bolts. I've got my 2.9 pulley ready to go but just need this bit. If anyone has one I would be willing to pay via paypal/money order as soon as possible, OR if anyone knows where I could order one please feel free to inform me. Thanks. Just reply or shoot a PM my way.

I was mistaken

post removed

 

Yeah I got one with the kit but it was thrown away while cleaning the garage without my knowledge. And yeah, its not just a regular star bit haha.

bump

 

Alot of people have looked for them and no has come up with a place to buy them . I've searched for hours on the net and nothing . If you have a place that sells them let us know because a lot of people have looked .

 

afaik this isnt a bit you can buy at hardware stores guys.

its a specialty bit.

 

harbor freight has a specialty/saftey bit set

 

It is NOT a STAR bit or a TORX bit at all. Stop wasting your time.

 

also hope they didnt locktite it

 

every single link you guys linked will not work.
they are not a standard torx or hex.

but go ahead. waste your money. wtf would we know.

 

Its a TWISTED star bit , it's nothing like the stuff that has been linked to. Like i said , if you can find a source for them , you'll sell em.

 

those arent standard they are like this

|__| instead of that they are like this |_*_|

 

and you had no loctite.

lucky you.
if you did, youd be crying because youd have stripped those soft bolts to hell.

 

I've looked all threw their site , they don't have the stage 2 bit. I'm not saying you can't get something to work, but people are looking for the same bit that comes with the kits. I have one , but i've never seen a legitimate source for buying the actual bit.

 

the harbor freight one has like 30 someodd wierd bits to fit stuff nothing else fits

 

thats great. but you obviously havent run into one with loctite, im sorry.
there are people who have stripped the bolts with the CORRECT bit on loctited ones....

telling people to use the incorrect bit because you happened to get it to work is not very nice.
your going to have people wasting their money on junk bits, that will strip those bolts to hell.

i know people strip them. I know what loctite is. I know what it does. These have blue loctite on them and the 3 i did, had it. Im not a moron, but thank you for implying it. It takes time you cant just go wrenching on them wqith all your might.

 

I'm not questioning the ability to make a different bit work, i'm sure you can . The thing i'm getting at is if you can find the ACTUAL STAGE 2 BIT. Many have searched for the bit and no one has found a place to purchase them. I wanted the actual bit so the bolts didn't look tampered with when i changed pulleys, even with the genuine GM bit i could see how easy it would be to bugger up the head .

 

im not telling people toi use anything im giving them options.

 

well unfortunately my friend, when you give advice on forums like this, you have to assume that people are going to do things like that.

because they do, and will.
which is why i think they should just get the right bit in the first place.
its not that difficult to find one on here.

 

k no problem, since im apparently wrong.

Dont know what the real bit looks like and also dont know what loctite is how it works and havent had any bolts with them on, ill keep my info out of the post. All according to an0malous

My tool supplier is sending me the info right now to get the RIGHT bit. They do exsist in other places except GM's tool box fellas

 

again look at the harbor frieght link and see if any of the bits look similar

 

im not responsible for thier bad decisions, do work on your car at your own risk

 

well that pretty much proves my point doesnt it.


go have a cry jesus.
if you cant take a little critisizm you need to stay off internet forums.

 

prooves what point, that i am giving them the information to do something and if someone can't do it correctly its my fault. Um no.

By the way I have 2 sets of the said "twisted bit" on the way to my house.

#0-#10.

butI forgot they dont exists in stores


not crying, letting you know that your making snap judgements. I found the tools and they are on the way to me, Im pretty sure I can handle myself.

you tried to tell me the bolts didnt have loctite on them, just because i got them out easily means nothing, i took my time and used my experience with loctite to get them out
