WTF is this bit? i thought it was mortorq or something like that but it doesn’t appear to be, its a 4 sided external bit that resembles a phillips kindasorta but it’s not mortorq and it’s def not torx/e-torx or JIS or anything like thatso wtf is this? this is on an 11th gen civic and it attaches to a fender as a retaining bracket of some sort
I would have asked on shitty ass Reddit but im banned there so this is my only hope
guys please im crying
why is it glossy?looks like a stripped and rattle canned normal bolt of some sort
>>28784171thanks for taking the time to respond to my thread i really appreciate it because ive been at a lossit’s glossy because its painted from the factory black, same color as my car & the fender body panel that this is bolted intoit does look like it’s stripped but i think that may just be the post processing on my stupid ass cuck iphone since it doesn’t really look like that in person, it appears the same on the other side/fender as well, and I haven’t attempted to take this off until nowDon’t think it’s a normal bolt though, im pretty sure it’s an inverted/external Phillips or JIS type bit but I can’t for the life of me find any screwdrivers/bits that fit that profile so I feel like a retard
>>28784182It's not going to be easy to tell what it is from a picture, but I found a service manual that might help you:dropbox.com/scl/fi/pddjzwvuejuaj1dhbi153/Honda-Civic-Service-Manual-2022-2024.pdfI know you said it's not stripped, but you may want to look into a manual impact driver (the kind you hit with a hammer) which helps for fasteners that might cam out/strip under force.
>>28784216Thanks for the link anon I appreciate it greatly, when I have some time ill take a look and see if it details what type of hardware this isWill also look into manual impact driver may just have to end up going that route, thanks again for the pointers I appreciate it man
>inb4 anybody tells OP hes trying to unbolt a plastic fender clip...
>>28784076why not just make another account? some people are on their 20th accounts lol
>>28784284I wish this was the case but no it’s a metal retaining bracket that attaches to the fender and the hardware itself is metal
>>28784327i don’t wanna
it looks like one of these but the centre hex drive is proper fuckedsee if you can grab it with vice grips, vampliers or some other sort of extractor holy fuck what is this new captcha? i haven't posted on here in months and now you gotta do 3 of them?
>>28784361>holy fuck what is this new captcha?It's prompts out of an IQ test. Legitimately a stroke of genius. They need to make it harder though.
>>28784051Looks like a stripped to hell hex
>>28784334Just use the "drive hole" as a centering hole for a big ass drill bit and bbbrrrrtttttt the head off.
