Brake rotor/wheel Hub Star Bolts
I've been reading the threads about some of you guys removing the four star bolts behind the steering knuckle, but haven't seen what you're using to remove them. I've tried an E-16 external torx socket but it want's to jump the points and an E-14 is too small. I've seen actual star socket sets on the web but they look like my torx sockets and didn't want to put out the cash for them unless I'm certain they are the ones. I intend to replace these stupid things with the correct size hex head metric bolts, even though I'll probably never do this project again. Maybe I can use it as a selling point? "...ah, sir, this fine automobile has REAL hex head bolts behind the steering knuckle, not those stupid star bolts on other Hondas!!!" In retrospect, I guess I could use a "damaged bolt remover socket" since I don't intend to put the star bolts back in, but, I'm a sucker for buying "special" tools. I just hate it when I have to stop in the middle of a project because of some weird bolt or screw or something. But I digress, Thanks in advance for any help.
