Werner,
NAPA sells the proper 12 point Torx tools - I bought a pack with 2 common
sizes for less than $10.

Subject: [MBZ] Correct tools for 124 half shaft?
I'm trying to remove the 6 machine screws that hold the inner end of the
half-shafts to the differential on my '90 124. The screws are socket
head,
splines, and a Torx 50 seems to fit (almost). It appears to me that the
screws have a 12 pt? socket head, while the Torx bits are 6 pt. The
result
is that the Torx just strips out the head!
So what is the correct tool to use? Any special techniques??
Any suggestions are appreciated....
Werner
