@ted101975 Thanks for the comment, and no, my 2004 T5 (2.5L) has the Aisin-Warner transmission, and not the GM trannys found in the T6 (2.9L) models that have the troublesome GM transmission. The XC90 is an outstanding SUV, but from 2003 - 2006 they fought with the GM transmissions (installed with the T6 engines) and finally, if I am remembering correctly, revised the tranny in 2007.

Did you have any transmission issues in your 04?

@fordf1502 Thanks for the comment! It was the torx bolt, that thing was stuck on there, and since I did not have a stubby torx socket, it was a nightmare to use my pliers and a standard size torx socket to remove it...but I did go out and purchase some stubby sockets for the next time :-)

@waynegarbo Thanks for watching! Great question, I did not mention that in the video :-( I apologize for that, but to answer your question, the torx bit size, for the rear brake caliper bracket on my XC90 is a T-40.
