I need to get my throwing star alloy wheels refurbed but having removed all 4 I need to source a Torx type bit to remove the actual star disc from the wheel. There are 5 fixings on the back of the wheel.
Any body know if this is a special bit as a normal T20 bit won't fit? Mike McCourts |

You need an M6 'triple square' driver for the throwing star bolts.
Triple Square has 12 points, so three squares superimposed on one another, twice as many as Torx.
