Carefully hammer the bolt heads with a ball peen hammer. This will loosen the bolts and peen the triple square a bit smaller. Sometimes this will let a hex driver bite hard enough to loosen the bole. The proper tool has 12 points, not 6. Then replace all the bolts with hex head bolts (M6x20) so a normal hex driver will work next time.


I am trying to take off the fan wheel covers off my 91 M5. The wrench I am using is stripping the screws. Does anyone know where I can buy the wrench to remove these screws. And I also need a wrench to install the throwing star wheel covers. Any advice?

Thanks

Brent
