Hi,
Am trying to change the disks and pads on my wife's 2016 Fiat 500 1.2 petrol. The whole assembly on these later 500s seems more like the Abarths if you look at the YouTube videos.
Anyway all is going fine until it comes to remove the bracket holding the calipers (the calipers come off with a T45). There seems to be a weird 'star' shaped nut instead of a standard 6 sided nut. Essentially it looks like the end of a Torx screw. A 13 min socket fits over it perfectly and seems to grab it tight but it is slipping. Is there a different type of socket that I need to remove this? I haven't seen anything like this before...
Thanks in advance
