Author Message   Xl_cheese Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 11:36 am:        I need to go buy a 12 pt socket to remove the bolts, but I'm not sure of the correct size? It *looks* like it'd be a 1/2" 12pt size? Can anyone confirm? thx   Hammer71 Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 01:38 pm:        yup thats it. Just got done with mine a few weeks ago   Ochoa0042 Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 01:52 pm:        hum... i've been using everything metric for every bolt except for hex-wrenches   Tpoppa Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 03:08 pm:        1/2" 12 pt. Just had mine apart a few weeks ago to repair the spark plug threads.   Roysbuell Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 05:06 pm:        I'm a mechanic and if possible I always use 6 point sockets that are stronger and less likely to strip the bolt. The only time I use a 12 point is when there is not enough room to rotate the ratchet to the next click.   Xl_cheese Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 05:20 pm:        Thanks guys. FYI- The head bolts look like the one on the right:   New12r Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 07:25 pm:        Roy, only a 12 point will fit. 13mm is the same size FYI.
