    Trying to replace my N205 and read that I need the t20 bit size. Got one bolt out, however the other just stripped after 2 tries. Any solutions?

    use any grinder you can fit back there and make it a flat head, try a bolt extractor, vise grips, weld a bolt to the head of the stripped one. lots of ways to get it out, you just have to be creative and pick the best one for your situation.

    Shit sucks when it's suppose to be a 5 minute process and turns into needing 10 tools and 2 hours of work....

    The triple square screw holds a bracket next to the N205. I don't need to take that off.

    My triple square got stripped when I was doing my n205 . I drilled the screw out a bit, and took a torx 30 screwdriver and used a hammer to beat the screwdriver into the hole i just drilled. Then I and it came right out. Im sure something similar would work for you, just you'll probably want to get a different screw for next time

    Yea I got it. Took a flat head and just hammered it to make the grooves, came right out after that. All done plus oil change.

    You're right, my bad. I just remembered using an odd triple square when I removed mine
