FYI an early 90's 4.0 and possibly earlier do not have a torx it has a bolt and the felpro kit is missing an o ring that goes on the bolt. I got the extra o ring at ace hardware
Just did this today. It was tough finding a T60 that is short. I ended up having to buy a Lisle branded one and cut the tip length down to the bare minimum and also cut the Socket body in half. Then I used a serpentine belt 1/2" Socket tool arm as its very flat and has a low profile. I also removed the one engine maintenance bolt. Thank you Aaron!
This was one of the first fixes I had to do on my 1996; it started as a very small drip.. and turned into a pretty big leak.. so I just changed it thanks to a video much like this.
One thing was-- I actually needed somebody to help from the bottom while I attacked it from the top... even with all the right tools. I was happy I did it at work on my day off.

Great info. Pinned to help others find it.
I ended up knocking a t60 torx out of its socket, and using a ratcheting box end wrench on it I think.. it was back in 2017.. so can't remember.
