Jibowski Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Does anyone know what type/size of bolt heads are in the bolts that hold the door latch into the door on Lupo they look a bit like torx bits bit have more ridges than the 6 on a torx bit Thanks!, jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Dont know the size, but know the type, they go by a few names: Spline drive 12 point Double hex I got these recently off ebay - they are needed in a few places such as gearbox, drive shafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case is **** too. buy the Bergen (chinese made) triple square set and thank me later when you're not snapping things all over and removing driveshaft bolts with vice grips.

Yeah, I have a few bits of Bergen stuff, I would say it punches above its weight for the price. What you need to know Rich, delivered with the USA pro set -that BTW I've had no bother so far with - came a flier that was introducing USA Pro as the re-branded Bergen! I have a cheap set of splines years ago, they were not even heat treated, gave up using them after 2 sheared off in the head of the bolt -think they are now land fill.

Rich Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 i know the usa pro is Bergen crap and that it is all crap but crap tools are okay if you're not using them everyday, main tools are all better and my long 3/8 ratchet is a snap on however that snapped a few weeks ago.
