Technical Stilo Battery Cover

[mi1ez]

Hi,

I have a sub and a couple of amps from my last car that I was going to put in my Stilo, but I can't get to the battery!

I can see the thing, but can't get the bolts off the cover. Does anyone know what type of srewdriver/ allen key I need. Anyone know? or know of a different way to get it off? is it worth going at it with a big flat-head?

Many thanks

Miles

Hi Mi1ez,

The bolt has a "star" screw head on it which is usually used for security puposes. In this case, you can either get the correct tool from a local hardware store or you can get away with using a standard hex tool (allen key).

Hope that helps!

It's not a normal star bolt though, it flares out a lot more. I'll see what I can find around and give it a go.

Thanks for your help.

You can use a normal Torx star bit on them, or go to fiat and buy the correct special tool for £££££.

Thanks guys, you've both been a great help.

You should be able to use a flat head if they are not too tight, otherwise torx bit as mentioned

The Flat head screw driver that is with the tools inside the spare wheel works fine.
