What do you carry to remove the T50 rear tire bolts? This CruzTools $18.00 tool seems expensive.

Re: T 50
Can’t help thinking that Cruz-Tools effort does look a bit flimsy. These screws can be very tight depending on who last installed the wheel. I can recall shearing off a “Snap-On” T50 Torx Bit trying to remove screws fitted by a BMW Dealer. I would have a practice run loosening off and re-tightening at home rather than at the side of the road.

The Silverline T50 Torx socket & 75mm extention bar or similar can be used with a torque wrench when re-tightening the wheel bolts.
Don't forget the tools required to remove/swing the silencer out of the way to access the wheel bolts.
