If you are doing a UCA and are looking for the "special" torx bit to do it, I used a regular T-50 several times with no issue.

Its the damn oversized t50 that ford used on the recall. Everyone says a regular t50 will strip them out.

I just used the regular snap on t50 on mine on Saturday. Was very right coming out but had no issues, didn't use an impact, not sure if that protected me from potential stripping of the fastener head or not

I've done it with and without an impact, same car, same bolts, at least 3 times. So those bolts have been hammered out 3 times and in 3 times with a normal T-50, no stripping here. The last time I did it was 3 weeks ago.

Regular T-50 works fine, I drove myself crazy looking for the special one ( with no luck ) until I actually got under there and gave the regular T-50 a try. Works no problem, never had to use an impact on it, was never that tight.

I used regular T50 here too, just two nights ago. No problem. I dont think the service techs that replace the bolts puts them in super tight anyway, so it should loosen without much effort.
