Default Tools needed to remove skid plate

What tools (and sizes) are needed to remove the protective skid plate under the car (2006)? If they are special purpose tools do you have a link to purchase it?

Thanks.

John

You will need sme 12 point TORX drivers, a 6 point TORX ( standard for most tool fanatics), and a metric socket. Sorry, don't have the sizes handy. PS>> A lot of patience. There are 15, count them, 15 fastners in three different sizes that have to come out to get the panel off.

Thanks, that's a big help. 6pts I've seen, I'll have to check the local parts shops for a 12pt.

I think the only tools you need is a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your (skidplate).
