Product Information

Where are they used? Most commonly, Torx screws can be found in motorcycles, automobile, bike brake systems, computer systems, hard disk drives, and consumer electronics. So, they are fairly common these days. Resistance to camming. One of the biggest benefits of the Torx bits is that they resist cam-out better than a traditional Phillips or flathead would. Cam-out is where the screwdriver slips out while turning the head. Repeated cam-out can damage the screw head, making it difficult to use going forward.

While it is important that the bit be able to stand up to the extra torque, it is not the only important component. The tool used to do the job plays an important part in getting the job done. So, being able to use triple square with things like breaker bars, ratchets, and torque wrenches gives it the versatility advantage here.

BRISKODA is owned and operated by Summit 360 Ltd, registered in England & Wales, company number 05710517. Cam-resistant. Anyone who has used a traditional screwdriver more than a few times has likely experienced cam-out. It can be frustrating in the moment and make removing a screw that much more difficult. Torx is great at reducing cam-out, making for an easier overall removal experience. Tamper resistance. Initially, Torx screws were highly tamper-resistant because there were not screwdrivers or drive systems widely available. Since they have become more common, there are variants that are tamper-resistant.M14 Bolts (brake carrier to wheel bearing housing): 90 Nm + 90 deg [66 ft-lb + 90 deg] (use new bolts) They're known by the Americans as "Triple Square" or VAG as ZXN and are used as they can handle higher torque before camming out. Durability. Because of the improved fit and its ability to take on larger torque capacity, Torx bits tend to make removal easier. Not only is that better for the user, but it is better for the overall durability of the bits themselves. There is a reason why Torx bits tend to last a long time. Also, I found a very useful video of the procedure that will also augment this thread, and thought I'd post a link here. It is on a MkV Rabbit, but it appears (and should be) identical to our B6 rear setups.

The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. Yes, there is already a great rear wheel bearing DIY in this forum ( http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5531205-Rear-wheel-bearing-diy&highlight=rear+wheel+bearing) but things get lost over time (see the doing it wrong thread that was lost a little bit ago) and so I'm posting mine up.The 12-pointed internal star shape superficially resembles the "double hex" fastener head, but differs subtly in that the points are shaped to an internal angle of 90° (derived from a square), rather than the 120° internal angle of a hexagon. In practice, drivers for the fasteners may or may not interchange, but should be examined carefully for proper fit before application of force. A hex key should not be used where a key of square cross-section is the correct fit. Sizes are M4, M5, M6, M8, M9, M10, M12, M14, M16, and M18. Despite the similar naming scheme to metric fasteners, there is no correlation between the name of the size and the dimensions of the tool. A construction favorite. Torx bits have become particularly popular within the construction industry. Due to its cam-out resistance and tamper resistance, it has become a more consistent, better choice than most traditional Phillips and flathead screws.

Triple-square drive fasteners have been used in high-torque applications, such as cylinder head bolts and drive train components. The fasteners involved have heads that are hardened and tempered to withstand the driving torque without destroying the star points. They are commonly found on German vehicles such as BMW, Opel, Mercedes, Porsche and those from the Volkswagen Group ( Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Volkswagen). High torque applications. The reason for the implementation of triple square bits is due to the high torque applications that vehicles can require. When it comes to drive train components and cylinder head bolts, the triple square bit offers a higher allowable torque to remove even the toughest or most seized components. The triple-square, also known as XZN, is a type of screw drive with 12 equally spaced protrusions, each ending in a 90° internal angle. The name derives from overlaying three equal squares to form such a pattern with 12 right-angled protrusions (a 12-pointed star). In other words, three Robertson squares are superimposed at a successive 30° rotation. The design is similar to that of the double-square—in both cases, the idea being that it resembles a square (Robertson) but can be engaged at more frequent angles by the driver bit. These screws can be driven with standard Robertson bits.

For general automotive and other uses, it’s Torx. But the versatility of Torx is too hard to ignore. Even when it comes to automotive needs, Torx is simply available in more types of vehicles. That means being able to get a wider array of bits and tools to handle the job.
