Triple Square transmission bit
I see lots of posts here and on RennTech about the weird XZN/triple square/serrated wrench bolt head on the T96 bell housing, but no one seems to state the specific size of the bit required to loosen it. Does anyone know it?

It's pretty high torque. My suggestion (wish I had followed this myself) is to stop at your local SnapOn truck and buy just the single socket. I haven't "yet" come across the need for any of the others in the cheaper set I bought and couldn't get good bite with the cheap one. Likely would have worked, but it didn't "feel" right, so I resorted to borrowing (then buying) a single good one and the difference was noticeable.

It's a T45 pain in the ***...
You can buy this kit for $40 on Amazon
I'll be selling some tools in a couple of months when I get my 996 put back together...

Its been 2 years since I did this, but are you talking about the bolt that attaches the transmission to the engine? I want to say I ordered the socket from Pelican.. or maybe Amazon. It wasn't particularly expensive (maybe like $10) and worked fine. Nothing special about it in terms of depth that I can remember.
EDIT: I just checked the pelican article - its specified in figure 9. As others have stated, 10mm. https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...on_Removal.htm
You can get one at Home Depot for $8.

I needed a set a few years ago, and instead of waiting for my Snap-on guy, I picked up a set from Autozone.
I’m still using them.
I rarely use them, so if I ever lose them, or break one, I‘ll probably just replace them with another Autozone set.

This is what I bought it for taking off my steering wheel. Good price and quality and covers just about any odd situation that needs it.
