LNB screw

Was taking apart some LNBs today and came across this bit Managed to get some out with pliers but I don't have a bit to fit these anyone know what the bit would be called or where I could obtain one?

I don't know what kind of head it is but it looks like you could put a standard 8 point socket on it. Try different ones for size and when you get one that's a close fit drive it on with a hammer. Use a nail punch to drive it back out afterward.

An adjustable wrench or a pair of mice grips might get them started if the bolts aren't on too tight.

Your picture is a bit blurry, but they remind me of the screws that are used on video game items.

I have been collecting security bits for years and there are so many of them with new ones now and then.

Some of you other video game collectors chime in on if you think it looks like the video game type security screws.

This is what you can put into eBay and find the game security bits. They are handy to have on hand if you ever want to take game stuff apart that requires them.

The tri wing screwdrivers for games are another handy item to have in the security bits tool box.

3.8mm & 4.5mm security bit tool

Over the years I have ended up with a nice selection of the tools for removing the security lug nuts from vehicle tires/rims.

Many times I have used a QUALITY vice grips to remove some of those type lug nuts as I didn't have the tool.

It seems that it would be tough getting at those screws as they seem to be recessed. The proper security socket seems the best bet if you have many and might get more in the future.

The proper tools pay for them selves most times.

Torch is quickest lol. Byt yes the look like security bits found on game systems. You can try getting a set of external torx sockets from hf. They sometimes fit and will take them off.

A 12 pt socket should work on those. From what I can tell from the pics, they look like the bolts that hold the crankshaft caps on the piston rods in car engines.
