Re: help please!!!

Most definitely a triple square (or 12 point). I too have a whole set if needed

Re: help please!!!

If you have stripped the crap out of one of these I have used a needle nose to get them off, or a grinder as last resort.
Either way these are one time use stretch bolts which are suppose to be replaced once you pull them out. I have reused them, just remember to use some thread locker and torque them correctly. Over torque them and next time good luck, under torque them and you could have the axle fall out.

Good luck

Re: help please!!!

if they are stretch bolts though the original torque rating will no longer apply. just replace them
