12 point tripple square bits

Does anyone know where I can buy some of these 12 point tripple square bits to remove suppension from a mk4/mk5 golf


Or are they called something else ?



Cheers

If they're the same sort of size as the ones for the driveshafts on my 16v then i got mine from halfords. Think they were part of a set of 'specialist' bits.

 

spline tools are there more common name from 6mm through to 12mm normally

 

cheers both

 

yeh as above, spline tools halfords for mine too,

tis an M14 for a mk5 if its the bolt at the bottom of the damper that clamps the hub to damper

 

XZN Spline Bits...

For example...

or http://www.chrometrader.co.uk/ViewProdDetails.asp?prod_code=12769&Prod_name=XZN BIT & HOLDER SET 5PC.

Not sure if they have the size you need though

 

trust the yanks to call it something differnt []
it is the bottom bolt on the strut leg

 

it is for the bottom bolt

I think your right, I just tried the biggest tool I had M12 and it was no where near big enough

Where can i get a m14 bit from?

Cheers

 

spline tool t45 or t50 from memory

 

It might work, but the T is a Torx and the XZN drivers aren't the same. Torx are 6-points, and XZN are 12-points (aka triple-squares).

Broke

 

If it is to remove the wheelbearings/hub unit then it is a M14. The vag tool is T10162. You might need a stepdown from 3/4 to a 1/2 inch as the tool comes only in 3/4.

cheers paul

 

i have a set and they only go upto 12mm! halfords might do larger bits seperately.

 

I have a teng set with them on cost me an arm and a leg though. I try and avoid halfords after cracking a 13mm socket whilst undoing the 3 bolts that hold the balljoint on

 

Spot on its a M14 "spline tool" I got some from halfords they go upto M16

20 for 7 bits
16 with discount

Cheers all

 

I just grip the head with vice grips and undo the nut on the other side.

You should be turning the nut anyway, not the whole bolt.

 

what? must have been cr8p ive never snapped a socket bit. even a cheap one
