Ignition barrel bolt tool?
Does anybody know what bit i need to take my ignition unit out? Looks like a torx bolt with a pin in the middle? And where to get one?
Cheers! |

Re: Ignition barrel tool?
It's called a security torx bit - search for that.
Or take a chisel & hammer to the pin

Its torx security bolt, I got a socket set from Halfords with the right bit to remove these bolts
Screwfix sell just the socket bits

Aldi have some torx/ Allen key sets in at the moment one end of the torx wrenches is normal, the other end is security torx. Think they're only a tenner.

They are usually very hard to get off, as there's lots of loctite applied
