Yeah, i thought that bolts would give me some hard time removing them, but they like melted with the hammer and the scraper.
I know that it needs to have a ductile steel, but even with that i thought it need to be more resistant.
The spanner grinded the torx inner lobes easily. Gives the impression that the fastereners are "self destructible" only for buying a new fastener kit instead of using the old ones.
As i will often change the autobox oil and wash the filter, hexagonal heads will become more reliable.

As i always says: Good designs are more expensive, but pays itself with time.Tinkley wrote:Good design may cost a little more but a good product does it's job and is hardly noticed. Hand in hand with good engineering and ergonomics (physical and GUIs'), it is a shame too much 'stuff' is purely driven by price which is ultimately more expensive as it so often fails!.
Saves time, money and specially nuisances with something breaking easily. No money on Earth pays the nuisance of a FUBAR situation. A good expensive thing never is a expensive thing.
