Some times the obvious is not so obvious

I had a play in the soft pilbara beach sand today and some rock and mud work and the new Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 tyres performed very well, So far so good

At 00.30 and 04.30 the horn was blasting out of my locked D2a, It was the main horns and Not the alarm beeping.
Bloody annoying and other than simply pulling the fuse on the horn is there any other way to stop this.

Is that some kind of external Torx bolt?

Double Hex bolt head or 12 point head

Note: to remove the caliper you don't need to undo the 12 point 19mm bolts, just the two smaller bolts at the far end of the caliper itself.

I can't remember if I had to remove the carrier to remove the brake shields on my D2 part car tho.

Most socket sets have the 12 point type sockets, so almost certainly you have the correct tools.

I have a nice 3/8 drive Kinchrome socket set(called Lock On), nice sockets strong and they do as advertised(ie. the additional grip), but they're 6 point sockets. Dunno if they come in 12point types tho.
