What’s this?

[$hot]

What kinda bolt is this?

 

[Groper]

A KXV 10.9 Bolt that's used on Brake rotors Duh !! !

or ya-no-maybe

 

[Nordie]

I can't remember the proper name for the bolt, but this is the removal tool.

All kidding aside I'm sure there are members that actually know.

 

[hman442]

Have you tried 12 point socket on it yet?

You have to go see this guy, take lube

 

[LazyLavey]

Diesel spark plug socket will work

WTF

It's called a posi-drive. Anti-tamper proof bullshit.

That would be the inverted or female version of it. Also known as a square drive or fluted drive, can be various types. Significantly different from a Torx.

Could also be a Zyklop.

What exactly are you trying to do? That bolt is special for a reason, DO NOT SPLIT THE CALIPER FOR ANY REASON.

That is not the removal bolt.

What You dont have any 10MM wrenches ?

 

[OLDRAAT]

yep, security or anti-tamper as stated.

 

[highvoltagehands]

Looks like a 6 or 8 pin screw.

That's a monoblock caliper, and thats the radial mount bolt holds the caliper to the knuckle. It must be serviceable.

What kind of vehicle (year make model) are we dealing with here?

Zee Germans have some fucked up proprietary fasteners that are very likely one time use.

EDIT: Fucking Volkswagen

Here's your socket: https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-50...cphy=9031092&hvtargid=pla-1657584111514&psc=1

Am I seeing an electronic parking brake connector in this picture?

Why do you want to remove that bolt?? brake pad change??

It sorta looks like a motorcycle.

I have not taken a caliper apart in years, I leave that up to @lbhsbz !

Removal is only required if you go 110% on the reactor, which is possible but not recommended.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

We are going to kill a friend, we are going to kill Rameous... Tell the engineer to go to 110%.

 

[Ziggy]

Handed out multiples of these in my parts department days, never knew what they were officially called, other than caliper bolts.
