    M-System question

    What size and type of socket/bit do I need to remove the throwing star caps? Looks like some weird hex bit, but I can tell it's not hex. I think a bunch of them will have to be drilled out anyway as they are very stripped out.
    For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!

    Are they the same ones as the turbines? If so a 6mm xzn or hex will do.

        Yes 6mm "triple square" or 6mm "xzn" bit. Both are 12-point....but don't try and use a 6mm hex.
        Also shoot them with some penetrating lube for a bit.
