Title: What are these bolts for door lock?
Post by: ub7rm on August 30, 2011, 08:17:37 pm

Could someone tell me what these bolts are?  They aren't torx - spline?  Anyone hazard a guess which size?

Going to have a go at changing out the door lock module this weekend and would like to know!

Thanks  :drinking:

Multi spline.  8 or 10 iirc.

Appreciate the help - don't want to get my door to bits and realise I've got the wrong tools!  :happy2:

Where are you based at?

There might be someone close by with the right tool that you could borrow from..

I'm just outside Aberdeen.  I've been eyeing up the halfords professional 150 piece socket set which is on offer at the moment as I've accumulated various cheap socket sets which are just right for rounding off bolts or having the one size you need missing so I think I'm just as well to throw in a set of spline's as well.  Should be able to dismantle the whole car with that lot  :signLOL:

Thanks though.
