head removal

Post by Falken-18c »

i just wanted to know if theres a speacial socket to use on the head studs bolts i think its a 14mm but there rounded with notches and i dont wanna use a normal 14mm socket and strip the stud bolt head.

Is there diffrent socket sets lol. this maybe be stupid but im just dont wanna round the heads off the stud and run into more problems.

Thanks

It's a 12 point 14mm head. Just be sure and use a quality socket that engages tightly.

I used a 12 point 14mm craftsman. It fit fairly well.
