Product Information

They are commonly found on German vehicles such as BMW, Opel, Mercedes, Porsche and those from the Volkswagen Group ( Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Volkswagen). In practice, drivers for the fasteners may or may not interchange, but should be examined carefully for proper fit before application of force.

Triple-square drive fasteners have been used in high-torque applications, such as cylinder head bolts and drive train components. Torx bits can be used in automotive-like triple squares, but they have so many other applications as well.The clues that led me to suspect the bearing instead of a feather tire were the following: the noise almost disappeared when I turned to the right and unloaded the bearing (it was the right rear), changing the tire location or putting a known good tire on that corner didn't change the volume or location of the noise, and the tire itself didn't appear to be worn in any way that should cause noise. The issue with the Halfords type is that they are not an impact bit the the star bit is inset into a socket which makes is very weak. This is as good a time as any to admit that the one time I replaced the rear brake pads I didn't do anything to the rotors - just left them on there.

Your problem will be unless you have a ramp you will find it extremely difficult to get any torque on it. My wheel bearing was so far gone that heat from the bearing caused the rotor to "seal" onto the rotor.The reason for the implementation of triple square bits is due to the high torque applications that vehicles can require.

For automotive needs, that means things like drive train components and cylinder head bolts which can be tougher to remove than other components. Triple square drives are used in high torque applications, such as cylinder head bolts and drive train components. Triple square fasteners are commonly found on German vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Volkswagen. They had to get the car up on a lift for clearance, heat the calipers with a torch, and use a 4' length of pipe as a cheater on a breaker bar to bust them loose. The hex bolt I wasn't too worried about since it is not a stretch bolt and some loctite will work just fine.This was very easy by partially reinstalling the 18m triple-square bolt and letting the puller screw sit inside the 12-point hole in the bolt. The views expressed herein are those of the individual contributors and not necessarily those of BRISKODA or SKODA. If you bought the car used, make sure the doofus before you didn't try to use an Allen bit or a torx bit and mess up the bolt. To give you an idea of how bad this bearing was, there was some heat discoloration on the interior of the bearing and the bearing had about 1/2" of free play. get it as clean as you can, measure the socket depth before you start so you can tell how deep it is engaged, and apply some force with a proper tool.
