They should be 45 torx, use a swivel with the torx bit an extension and you should be fine.

Let me verify, are you taking the small ones out of the compressor or the ones out of the engine block? The small ones are 30 or 35 Torx can't remember :(

IF they are stripped out inside the bolt center, that's a whole different can of worms.....

Tech appreciate your reply my mistake didn't see two 13 mm for ac Rear support bracket. Problem solve was on ground replaced compressor suction hose,drier. Do far have working ac again. They were t40  torx after unit is remove for bracket swap out for new compressor. 

 

But need a question answer tech 2.25 pounds my a/c system hold's is that counting compressor oil?

Yes, That is the refrigerant charge amount. When the receiver drier and the compressor are replaced they should both be drained and the oil measured. That is the amount to be put back in. I wouldn't worry about it though. If it's cooling and the pressures are normal you should be good. Most compressors come with PAG oil in them.

Tech the once again hate to bother anyone but just to confirm  basically did job myself including refrigerant r134 kept things simple. Yes,sir drier, suction hose, and compressor was change. My fill hose gauge was showing 47 in green area roughly 32 oz for 2.25 pounds everything seems good thus far my my temp gauge which stick in vent shows about 45 degrees set at 60 but when climate control is set at 65 notice temp gauge in vent goes higher like 75 could this be orfics tube wasn't change or climate control program box needs adjustment? Have no codes and so far no leak down from what can tell. Used 134 pay oil with dye. Hope my question is clear enough for you

The outlet air temp (45) at 60 is good. The outlet air temp at 65 depends on outside air temp sunload etc.. What is the outside temp where you are?
