Oh. I didn't even know what the name of those were. I just called them "bastard VW sun bolts" whenever I saw them. Thanks, Nazimobile nerds.

Triple square is the proper name for those "multihex" bolts. Or, if you want to sound really German about it, XZN bolts.

Unless you buy an inferior driver bit. Then it'll eat them alive. A proper fitting one can just about pull the earth off its axis before it thinks of stripping.

Triple square is different from twelve sided Torx. Technically, its Triple Square, Torx, and Spline Drive

I can't think of anything that would fit in there and be useful without getting smashed off by the crank webs every revolution. It's for the opposite side connecting rod. These engines use a master and articulating rod setup like a radial aircraft engine, just in a Vee pattern.

At this point I wonder if he isn't just backing non-stuck bolts out with them just to gently caress with us.

That bolt was a harmonic balancer bolt for my Audi and it stripped out, one of four. Its Allen and original to the 1987 Audi it came from.

I'm going to attempt to extract a snapped off transmission pan bolt and I'm willing to give you 10% of my soul as a finder's fee for hooking me up with whoever you sold yours to.

How far in did the bolt snap? If its below the surface, the first step I'd do is find a drill bit that has the same circumference as the bolt's shaft, drill enough to get a divot in the top of the broken bolt that will allow you to use a small bit to drill a small centered hole into the broken bolt, drill it about 1/4" deep (rough estimate) Then, get the easy out, take a small tack hammer or a mallet and hammer the easy out into the hole, rotating gently to the left as you do, it should stick if you use the right size easy out compared to the hole you drilled. Then, get an adjustable wrench, adjust to the square end of the EZ Out, and turn until it feels like its gripping (it should be doing this already due to the hammering), and then put force behind it.

obso posted:To be fair only the first one looks like something vice grips couldn't fix. The first one was on a driveline assembly. You couldn't get any of the the ones I get with EZ-Outs with vise grips. They were all in obscure and tight spots. Unless you are talking about the first one he quoted, which in that case those broken ends were all from a crank timing gear and all the bolts broke below the surface of the timing gear, so in the bolt hole.

Poing posted:WTF, now we know you're lying. Apparently you only have lovely adjustable wrenches. The most awesome adjustable wrench in existence:  http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-85-610-10-Inch-MaxGrip-Adjustable/dp/B00009OYGZ I used one on a rusted-on fastener (around 18mm original head size, it was rusted down to around 17.25mm and barely hexagonal) holding an early 90s F350 track bar bracket to the engine cradle at the junkyard today. Grabbed that fucker tight with it, even though it was barely recognizable, and held tight while I used a breaker bar on the bolt from the other side. This tool has saved my rear end 3-4 times now and is easily worth (IMO) three times what they are asking.
