BBS Bolts HELP! :(

[lhennessy]

Hey guys just bought ale Genuine BBS wheels and tried to undo the bolts as they are 2 piece.
Torx 45 was slightly to big and torx 40 is to small and threads the torx head when I try undo them.
I'm just wondering is there a tool/size or something I should be using?

Thanks here is a photo to help but its an iPhone pic :/

You need to speak to 'vdubin' he's just sucessfully (yet painfully) split and refurbed his which have the same bolts as these. He know's what tool it is - from memory it's something like an M7 spline? 10 bolts broke in the process and we've had to order replacements from Germany, posted to the UK and then forwarded here - apparently sending directly to Australia 'is impossible' :/

The tool bit you need is size M8.
You can buy this from Bunnings, unfortunately you can only get that bit in a tool kit which was around the $50 mark. I'll post pictures and some other major things about splitting these wheels this Arvo.
Did you import the wheels?

Not sure yet if they're RS771's Reece

Hey vdubin, I got them from a seller here from Sydney I don't know if he has imported them.

Thanks for that if I could get a picture of the tool that would be great I think ill have to buy one

You should be able to buy them individually from Bursons or a bolt shop - Bunnings is not the best choice for hardware, sometimes.

Thanks will go have a look later today if I can or maybe tomorrow

M8 12pt bit, same tool used for Mk1-Mk3 driveshaft bolts (probably other cars too).
