Better (eat your snickers)
Dave was right it, is a torx. Possibly wrong sized bit?

Hi

and if your having difficulty gripping , it may be your torx "key" may be worn (could also be tho torx nut) try filing the tip , this will let the torx "key" use a piece that will be unworn , if its the nut you will have to try a flat bladed screwdiver which fits snuggly in the grooves and gently turn it out

[bobbasrah]

Looking at the photo again, is that a small dimple ponting up in the middle of the socket?
If so that is a security torx

had another look , you are of course correct , missed the dimple :rolleyes: sorry dan , have you any repair / engineer shops near you ? , they should have a set to crack it open for you

Either that or if you can get a flat screwdriver jammed in tight with the security pin behind it, you may just get it started.:scratch:
If you have an old suitable screwdriver that can be filed/ground down for a tight fit maybe?;)
