To get the torx bolts off use a 12 sided 8mm socket or there abouts

I've had my hubs off several times, an imperial 5/16 socket fits just fine

What do we think to cutting down the Jimny bolts to fit with the SJ hubs?

If you get the adapter plates they come with new bolts.

The plates are coming with the hubs.
However, it could be a while because the seller hadn't set up his account to take Paypal and so it looks like there is a delay.
I won't tell you what I am thinking as it is almost unprintabale but this guy doesn't even seem to think there is any urgency. Another ebay tosser.
