Security Torx
Hi
Is there a quick way to remove the central nipple from these, or will I have to wait a few days for tools to arrive? I would just use a dangle grinder on them and replace, but dont want to damage the equipment. Its a microwave. thanks NT |

Stick a small flat bladed screwdriver in the hole and twist it against the nipple. Blink as you do it, unless you want the nipple in your eye. Now there's a thought -- geoff |

Cos I cant quite get my head inside, its a bit too small. Need to enlarge it. Want to dry my hair quicker. The power supply is considered leathal!! Indeed, I used to repair them. No longer generally worth doing though. Thanks to everyone, I shall attempt snappage. If that doesnt work, I'll attempt rebendage and waitage, and if all else fails, I'll dangle grind em off. OK, youre curious... the food caught fire and the muck spread, courtsey of the forced ventilation, to places a wash cloth wont reach. So it just needs a clean. NT |

Your security torx may be tougher than the ones i encountered, but when
my MP3 player died on me I needed to get the drive out of it to recover my music. Took a standard torx driver and a rubber mallet then just squished the pin down. The driver didn't sit as low in the screw head as it should have done, but it was good enough to cleanly remove the screws without damaging the case or drive inside. Seri |

If they're stainless though, they're soft enough for this just to bend. Then you need to dremel the damn thing out without damaging the splines too much. Tried to snap the bits off, but they were surprisingly resilient, and the case was bending rather than the lil post. Wanted it done quickly, so I just ground me nipples off with a dangle grinder. thanks to all. If I dont post for a bit you'll know theyve gone septic NT |
