Heat shield hex bolt?

[PamAndJim]

It's my understanding that the bottom heat shield bolt on newer cars are hex whereas they used to be t30 torx. Can anyone confirm? If so, anyone know what size hex bit I'll need?

Not sure but it makes sense that they changed it. That torx bit was a royal pain in the ass.

My EDM 2017 EB had a hex nut for sure.

Well I just tried the 10mm and it didnt work on my 2018. I'm changing the wastegate on my NX2. Turns out it's actually an 8mm. Figured I would update this thread, since it was the first one that popped up, when I googled it. Hope that helps someone Cheers
