les3002 0 Posted December 29, 2007 swapping the drums on my gti atm and have come to remove the backplates but the 4 bolts that hold them on are well rusty so before attacking them could someone confirm what type they are torx or allen? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugnut 9 1 Cars Posted December 29, 2007 they are allen , but they are usually so rusty that hammering in an oversized torx works better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,662 Posted December 29, 2007 I've seen both, well on a 306 that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 29, 2007 I've only seen Allen on the radius arms (205, 309 & ZX) that I've stripped. Like Pugnut says, they are usually so rusty that I've got an old 7/16 bi-hex socket i hammer over the head to get them out now rather than bother rounding the off. Graham.
