      That’s just a typical socket head security screw or what they call tamper proof screw.

      It’s sometimes referred to as a pin head security screw.

      Harbor freight has a multi bit set that will work.

      as mentioned, tamper proof hex drive, or hex drive plus. A torx plus will also fit, just don’t put a lot of torque on it. Rizzo, you can get them from Canadian tire specialty tool section or princess auto(since we don’t have harbor freight or ace).

      I bought the correct tool so I didn’t butcher it, I tried the other tools but I seemed not to fit correctlyqw-1.jpg looks more like a pentastar shape, yours may be different, oops, maybe I got it mixed up with the adjuster bolt

      OP’s asking about the end plates. That’s the pentastar tool for the stanchions; used a Gator Grip socket I had sitting in my toolbox for thatGator-Grip.jpg.

      Where did you get that tool for the adjuster bolts for the wing angle?

      I want take the side winglet off and it has two funny screws holding it on. They have a little pin in the middle of the hole. What tool do i need to take them out? Anybody have a clue what the name is? One of them has a tiny stone chip in it and i want to take it in and touch it up. Here is a picture of it. Thanks
