star bit size

Featured Replies

Quick one to people who know this I am tryong to replace drop links on my var and cant undo the top screw I loosened it but its now spinning I need the star bit to put inside to stop it from spinning but dont know what size it is I trued everything I have got and now cant even tighten it back up will have to drove with it loose until I get the bit..

If it is the front ones it will be a m6 spline bit

You can clamp mole grips on the back to stop it spinning if that helps.

M6 spline on rears, ended up cutting mine off with a grinder!

I cut my fronts off, it's so much easier

M6 spline - roger :)

Its the front I woul cut it tbh but got no angle grinder :( besides I am not sure now If should replace it got some knockng going on not too often but it happends so thought ill start from drop lnks but after investigating they look intact all the rubbers are good and there is no play..ill probably just tighten it back up and ket it be for now..hopefully halfords sells this bit cheers guys!

I changed mine at the same I did my shocks just cos they're a cheap part. The knocking could be top struts

The knocking could also be a knacked shock absorber.

Top mounts, changed mine and the knocking stopped.

Or the ARB bushes.
