ESP: The "Dirty Screws" Explained

I meant triangular , of course.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove it without damaging it and using the right tools?
The reason is the replacement of the G81 temperature sensor.

I thank you...

Hi,
I used a small hand coping saw to cut a slot, and then I unscrewed the relatively loose screw with a screwdriver. I think that's the fastest method.

Or file down a nut (I think it's a size 7) on three surfaces to create a rounded edge.

The triangular screws are 'supposedly' used to secure explosion-proof enclosures (Ex protection class D) against unauthorized access, so they are being used for a slightly different purpose here.
So, for example, you can obtain special screwdrivers (the keyword here is 'ex-cutlery') from online marketplaces; these are readily available for purchase, and then everything is quiet.
Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Okay, thank you for your tips. Well, then I'll try to crack the ESP case. "Ex cutlery" sounds good, sawing is the easiest, and the one with the nut sounds like the best option .


There's something for everyone, and I'm looking forward to Saturday...^^

Thank you very much.

It fit perfectly with a size 7 nut. I carefully hammered the nut onto the exposed screw, and then it was easy to unscrew.

And again, money saved through the forum .


Thank you...
