Worth soaking in WD40 for an hour before tackling it Mick?

Do everything you can to prevent rounding it I suppose, a few hail Mary's and an animal sacrifice too if you can

Dunno what you'd call it, it's a weird head I've not seen before.  Typical.  Why couldn't they just use a normal triple square or a good old fashioned hex head bolt!!!

Yeah, I always hated the neighbours cat anyway!!   

Definitely worth drowning it in WD40 before starting, i'd like to give it every possible chance to succeed.

That's just a torx bit no?

Convinced I have one in my torx set at home if you need Mick

I have short and long torx heads too for the extra clearance.

The "prongs" for lack of a better word, seem to be longer on it than a normal TORX bit Luke, plus I'd LIKE to think it's hardened and as such stronger than the normal run of the mill TORX bit to prevent it snapping on the end of a breaker bar. Typical LASER or silmilar branded stuff can be brittle I've found.

This ye ol' fashioned torx



The head on the VVT adjuster bolt is "Some random pattern guaranteed to round out - and let's make it from MDF for sh*ts and giggles, just to REALLY piss them off, mwahaahhhhhaaaa"

Excellent, cheers!

I can just see those VW engineers doing that very thing!
