Source for triple square 12pt 12mm bit, wheel bearing exchange
My e70 needs new fr. brakes, a new Fr. L wheel bearing and new LCA bushings. I thought I could do a quick job of the brakes and the bearing today. Not so, the bearing is held to the hub carrier by 4 bolts which are damn tight and take a 12mm 12pt male socket bit, biggest one in my tool box is 10mm (got two of them for some bizarre reason but no 12mm  ). Went to Sears and no luck, HD is equally useless. I could go to Lowes but fear they too would not be much use.
I did get the axle nut off and moved the axle splines back with a neumatic hammer but I am stuck until I locate the 12 point 12mm bit. Aaargh!
