The title says it all…
it looks like it would be a 10mm socket, it has six points
part number 94185-60800

anyone know what the socket is called or the bolt head type?

it holds an exhaust bracket to the Body and the rubber muffler rings ride/attach to the bracket.

link to part diagram, see exploded box 3, showing bracket and nut etc

I've used this on many nuts and bolts with unusual configurations or damaged,,,

thank you…this seems to certainly be a great solution.

I am totally guessing, but I think it is a toyota version of a 6 point ARP Bolt

My guess is a six point socket will take it off

I too thought a six point would do it but the nut has sorta rounded curves between the points…never seen one like this.

doobs

I'm fairly certain if you provide a photo, someone could help you.

I've had a set of Craftsman Torx sockets for years, but have yet to find a use for them. It's good to know there is a potential here on the SC exhaust system! The Amazon set looks like a great deal for $11.00. Too, they look to be impact quality. I might have to spring for a set as my Craftsmans are merely chrome vanadium. However, I may be suffering from TAS (tool acquisition syndrome). The problem is, my Lexus and Toyota vehicles are so darn reliable, I rarely need the large collection of tools I already own!

My problem is I have tools I am to old to use any more.

I'm going on 67-years-old, and doing less wrenching then I use to. In part, to prolong my wrenching days since I retired, I keep in shape by doing 2-3 hrs of morning exercise, 5 days a week. When I was working, I was lucky to get in 45 min, and noticed a shortage of muscle and stamina when taking on automotive projects. Core strengthening, stretching, calisthenics, and free-weights all help in being able to crawl around and underneath a vehicle, break lose frozen fasteners, and sometimes twist oneself into a pretzel for access!

The side benefit of keeping in shape is living a healthier, longer life (I hope)! And a final thought...the mental challenge of working on autos is great for brain plasticity, which should help keep dementia at bay (although, after reading some of my posts, others may disagree).
