Rotor bolts torx or torx plus
 
Does anyone know if the rotor bolts are a regular torx or a torx plus? For that matter is all the torx style on HD all the same type? It seems that when removing rotor bolts especially the rear T45, the bits break. I only notice this when working with the T40's and up.

I'm gonna say torx. I've never done a rotor swap, but I've also never encountered a torx plus on my bike either. I've heard that a propane torch is your friend when it comes to rotor bolts....

I am not aware of any torx plus on any Harley.

As an FYI, the bolts are a regular torx. I tried a torx plus bit and it doesnt fit. We are seeing a lot of brake componants with PLUS torx where I work thats why I was asking.

Use a soldering iron hold it in head of bolt until bolt heats up it. No after affects like a torch way cleaner and generally safer on the bike.

Ain't never bought a TORX PLUS bit yet and all my TORX fit and work good...
