AVM hubs - T15 Torx cone headed bolts was created by DrRobin
Hi,
When I put my AVM hubs on, I managed to break the end of a T15 Torx bit in one of the bolts, it is not in tight (they only go in to 4NM), but has resisted all atempts to get it out. I am going to drill the centre of the Torx bit then just turn it anti-clockwise, it will come out, but I might damage the bolt and they don't seem to be available on their own.
Has anyone got a spare bolt they don't need?
I see I can buy a service kit that contains 12 bolts and the gaskets, so if it comes to it, I will buy one of those, then have some spares if anyone else needs one in the future.
