Socket for headbolts?

[Dave G]

I give up - what should I be asking for? "12 point torx-like-thing" is drawing blank stares at the tool stores.

i belive they are called "double-hex" sockets
or 12 point sockets i think

[PaulLehr]

Yeah just use a half inch drive 12 point socket to take them out. I cant recall for sure but I think they were only like a 14 or 16mm

[festivaWES]

i believe there 13mm, but yeah use 12 point socket

For the B3 and B6 the head bolts are 12mm, 12 pt... when you put them back in make sure you torque them to the specs shown in the haynes manual

This ain't no normal 12 point bolt head:

Went to four or five different places and could not find a socket that fit. Finally ended up using a 6 point 1/2" socket, tapped on with a small hammer. I hate it when stuff like this happens :-)

They are 12mm 12 point. 6 point will screw them up.
