Torx Driver Oil Drain Plug GT
- Thread starter 164809
- Start date
I wasn't asking and the OP said M24. I have not seen a T-24 either. Just came back from Home Depot and they have all the Torx bit sizes you can think of.
My bike has a 24 mm hex like nut for drain plug. If you have a torx female, I am sure it is larger that size 24. I wish mine was a female allen type. The hex, you have to be very careful to make sure the socked is square before loosening or tightening.

"24" has to be a typo, or it's some other type of head (Jack Bauer?). I've looked at Sears, Snap-On, and Home Despot, and no T24 bits.
Maybe there's just a buildup of crapitation on the inside of the socket...? Solvent and a pick... Or maybe the OP is actually incorrect in that it's not a Torx, but an abused Allen.
There are indeed oddball sizes available (T6, 8, 27, 47, 55; and external sockets in T12, 14, 16, 22, and 34; and mini-Torx for electronics), but I don't think we use them.

Yes, there's no such thing as T24.
There is E24 (external torx)
