Thanks for the reminder about that piece of krap bolt. So far as I can tell, it is a rare example of bad design on my W123 M-B using a 12-point bolt in that spot. Why?
That location is prime territory for water and dirt. If there is anywhere on the vehicle where a 6-point bolt would be best, I consider that a good spot. As part of a front end rebuild a few years ago and after a highly unpleasant experience removing the old 12-point bolt, I replaced it. Good riddance.
