I had to do this job last November. I got a set on amazon for £14.99 " LEXIVON E-TORX Socket Set, Chrome Vanadium Alloy Steel | 13-Piece Female Star Socket E4 - E20 Set | Enhanced Storage Case (LX-147) ". Worked perfect for the job with adaptors for 1/4" or 3/8" use. Originally i tried to order only the size E10, but the set was the easiest option. |

Pretty sure it's an E11. Same size as Disco 3 etc

The bolts are use once anyway, so cutting them off is no problem, although they're about £6 each to replace. I keep a spare set, just in case. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Not sure why they are use once?, mine have been out and reused twice with no ill effects. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

They are torque to yeald patch bolts, which are always use once according to the manufacturers.

Can certainly se the requirements for replacement of stretch bolts in a cylinder head but not in this application. And £36 to replace them Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Surely it must be because of the need for new Loctite on the threads as the torque is only 40nm
