Those are female Torx sockets. You need male Torx sockets. I hope that statement don't get me in trouble.Yeah I have torx sockets like the ones I display in the picture below.
But they are of no use in this context, since they are not able to unscrew the bolts I hold a fight against.
sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm not english

So, if you don't have Torx drivers I'm assuming you haven't actually tried to remove these??
But what if they identify as...never mind.Those are female Torx sockets. You need male Torx sockets. I hope that statement don't get me in trouble.
You never know. Sockets are always female. No offense intended. Maybe there's a gender-neutral way of conveying the variant of the tool. The male variant of a socket is a bit. Socket and bit are however gender-neutral at least grammatically and should pass forum restrictions.Those are female Torx sockets. You need male Torx sockets. I hope that statement don't get me in trouble.
You're trying to get me to say something to get me in trouble with the moderators; I'm not falling for it.
Who? Moi? Nev-air!You're trying to get me to say something to get me in trouble with the moderators; I'm not falling for it.
this is exactly what i'm using. I just misunderstood the user who asked me about the socket because I believed he was gonna tell me some life-hack using a female socket to extract the bolt. I'm desperate enough to believe in magicYou need the other kind of torx sockets…like these…

I told another user about it. I'm not retarded enough to believe I could unscrew a bolt with a female, I just said that bc I believed someone was gonna tell me about a 'magic' trick or life-hack to break the rust linkage with a female socket or something like dat (I'm trying hard in order to explain myself here)Those are female Torx sockets. You need male Torx sockets. I hope that statement don't get me in trouble.
My mind is desperate enough to trick me at this stage.
i'm kinda confused right now.... should I use heat or freeze? dayum
Freeze off first. It will bubble and wick into the threads

If there's any way to get penetrating oil around the back of the flange, it's going to be helpful. Heat the flange and hose it down with oil. Let it soak in then give it your best shot.
If it's a loose fit, I used to grind a half mm off the tip of the torx bit to make it fractionally larger and pound it in.
At some point you've gotta just give it that extra umph and hope for the best.
If it rounds out you are in the land of right-angle drills or pulling the head I'm afraid.
Good luck!!

Is there enough room to just get the torx bit in there and hit it with a hammer a few times? That should help loosen things up.
I live in a small village in Spain... the local shop wants to charge me 110 euros for something similar
