This is a good point to stress here kids. It is a good idea to make sure the
bolt head is good and clean so the tool seats fully.
This of course applies to all torx,allen,spline type bolt heads.
And I am not sure if the manual spells this out in plain english but these bolt
heads are "tripple square" - not torx. The special tool was about $5 and if I
remember, it was a 10mm tripple square and fit inside a 10mm socket.

The suck factor is high if you strip out a bolt head here.
