just an opinion, but it doesn't look like you moved the hone back and forth fast enough. I don't see the pattern I would like to see. Maybe I'm wrong, it's just the pic, but I would like to see the the hatching crossing those more pronounced,
Its the pic. I’ve been doing this type of thing for the better part of two to three decades…just an opinion, but it doesn't look like you moved the hone back and forth fast enough.

Imagen how is it to me. I deal with french cars all day for fun, they have even weirder fasteners, 9mm 12 point is standard for Volkswagen Group vehicles. On top of that i still teach maths, physics, and computer science in 4 elementary schools in 2 languages and have part time job in sales.Man, European cars are a pain! I knew this when we bought the mini for the wife, but this thing is an extra painful PITB!
Despite a fully stocked tool box, I still had to go buy a set of e-torx sockets to remove the rod bolts (and assorted others).
I went today to install the new rod bolts ( TTY) and come to find they’re a (very weird) 9 mm 12 point!
Jebus crisp!
Luckily, I found one 9 mm 12pt on the shelf at our local Carquest after running all over town on a sat afternoon.
I’ve had to buy so many special and odd tools to work on this thing I’m going to have enough to fill a second roll around….effing European junk!
Yep, I remeber being a young buck in a shop and when a volkswagon “anything“ came in for work, we’d all scatter.Imagen how is it to me.
