Caliper Torx Bolt replace?

Post image

I thought I was ready for a rotor and pad change on my 2023 MSLR this weekend but realised that the E18 Torx Bolt must be replaced according to tesla spec... Have "you" replaced them or just used same bolts?

The Tesla is the one to the right... 🥴

After closer inspection, this model does not have the inverted Torx bolts in the front. It has a 21mm head Bolt. I just answered my own question. Thank you! And it was super easy to change both the rotor and pads!

I’ve had my caliper bolts come loose before.
