vstech, unfortunately these triple square bolts are rounded on the outside and thus no surface area to grip onto from the sides. so these bolt removers will be useless. Triple squares are female bolts, like the hex bolts on the oil pan. Even then, they are naturally round, so there's no way they'd grip. I did however find an ez-out kit which drives into the inside of the bolt.
