Need of help! What tool for Head Bolts?

yebokmj · 07-08-2003, 11:38 PM

Okay I got my cams off and the whole bit the head bolts are staring me in the face.... But they are not a normal bolt and I need to know what tool to purchase so as to get them loose and later tighten them. I have been Using WAC's page as a guide and unfortunately the tool is not mentioned on the list of needed tools.
Help.

I think you just need a 12 point socket to get them out, at least that works on a SOHC

Edit: Damn you Aaron, replying at the same time as me...
