You need triple square bits. Get at autozone.

Well. I posted on Rennlist, Renntech and 6speedonline. Got no responses for repair ideas so I came up with one. I took the multitool cutter to the latch and removed it. Appeared to have a failed part internally. Part that actually releases the hook was non functioning. Soft close motor works as it should when microswitch is activated. Porsche should have made a provision for removing the latch mount inside the car rather than weld it on. First photo shows latch in situ. See how the mount is welded to door. If it were bolted on, you could remove the latch mount from the door and get the door open, cut the bolts holding the latch to the latch holder that was previously bolted to the door and just replace the mount and latch rather than cut the whole bugger apart.

I have a very similar problem but I cannot get my manual release to open my hatch. It is stuck in the closed (almost since helper motor didn't pull door all the way down) position. Moving the manual release doesn't work. Any ideas on how to get the latch released so I can get the door open to begin trouble shooting mechanical issues. All fuses and relays have been checked and there are no problems there that I can find.

You can't just re-hone an Alusil block. It takes a very specialized machine and almost no one in the US does it. You can get it sleeved and then new pistons and rings.
