The Minerva's are a female triple square. You can use a Torx bit to loosen them if you are careful. Torx's are much easier to find but not an exact fit.
You're a saint.
Do you know the size of the internal (female) triple squares on the minervas?
From what I've read, it looks like work wheels use a male 8mm (or 5/16) triple square - can anyone confirm that's the same size for the rear of the minervas and the front of the Advans?

Thanks!!

Edit: also, will spline drive sockets work on male triple square hex bolts?
My understanding is that the spline drive has 60 degree angles on each of the 12 teeth compared to the XZN/triple square's 90 degree angles, also on 12 teeth.
