Steering column bolts

Inside the tilt wheel assembly, there are 4 bolts holding it on. They have a Torx-like head, except you use a socket on them. Does anyone know the size of the socket so I can go buy it before I take it apart? Thanks

Well, I did this but don't remember the size of the bit. All I wanted to say was prepare yourself for an "all day sucker." Get a friend to lend a hand because that job totally blew.

I did the same thing on my last car (86 IROC), and I've had this column apart to replace the wiper switch on this one, so I know what to expect, I just didn't remember what size the bit was. I think it was an 8 point socket, maybe 1/4", but it could have been 3/8"
