Hey guys,
How have you guys got the head bolts out? I've used a torx socket (T55) with no success!! Is there a special socket or something? Sorry bout the stupidity!! Cheers, Aussie_Escort |

You can get inhex sockets that are similar to the torx sockets except the socket body is made from an impact socket.
Grab a hammer and a large drift and give them afew heavy whacks before you try to undo the bolts.

thanx svo347 - rumour is its an XZN socket thingy, has 12 points (like the torx) & I believe 12mm for the head - there's a range of sizes & used on many european cars.

Hey again guys
Correct me if im wrong but an inhex socket is a hexagon shape. The head bolts on my 2l are a star shape. The head bolts have 12 point star and i was using a torx socket, 6 points, but it wasnt working!!?? frogscort: Did you get a XZN socket from snap on? Cheers |
