T-50 Torx socket for rear wheel - Are you sure?

[thesitetoremember]

Hi all,

my first post here about my first BMW which I collected yesterday.

It's a 2008 1200 GSA and I want to put a nippy normans rear hugger on it and need to remove the rear wheel. I have a Torx socket set but the T-50 seems to have a lot of play in it when I offer it into the head of the bolt, the T-55 is way too big.

I'm really just after some reassurance that the T-50 really is the tool for the job and I'm not going to knacker my bike on the second day of ownership!

Can anyone else confirm that the T-50 is not a real snug fit in the bolt heads?

Thanks,
Gavin

My set runs T47, T50, T55 and T60. Just been to garage and checked mine, definitely the T50 and it is not a snug fit.

Hope this helps

T50 is spot on for my 2005 bike's cross spoke wheels.

ISTR there are different bolts for the two wheel types.
