GTRgeoff Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 They are a torx pattern. Try hardware or $2 shop. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/124225-r33-gtr-wing/#findComment-2300212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANWHOR3 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 what I did is after I removed the torx thingy, I replaced it with an allen key one. I know it was pretty pointless, but I had the perfect size ones at home...

Is the torx screw stripped or is it free spinning not going anywhere? If stripped then use a drill and easy out to remove. Mine was free spinning meaning that the nut in the fibreglass had broken free. I carefully (and I mean CARFULLY) used a dremmel with a cut off wheel to grind the whole head off. Then sandwiched a wide flat screw driver between two sheets of cardboard to open the rear blade holders enough to get one side free. Was a pain but was the only way for me to get mine out.
