just need to get my flywheel off, what tool is needed to undo the bolts. its like a multipointed star, is it a specal tool, and where do i get one. answer needed asap pls. cheers :-D

Think they're called hex-keys. Any good B&Q should have some! :?

 

[gtirtrack]

no its not hex, its not torx either. it has loads of points, never seen these bolts before.

 

[Keira]

unless its something odd on there its a 12point socket cant for the life of me remember the size now though :doh:

 

[Shaun]

17mm iirc

 

[ashills]

yep 17mm multiway socket impact gun is also very helpful

 

[Mr GTiR]

I've always used a normal half inch socket set for this.

 

[gtirtrack]

ok, i thought it may be a multipoint socket, they r def bigger than 13mm/ half inch. more likely 17mm. i know last time i undid flywheel bolts they were real tight lol. just needed to know it aint a special tool. its to get the os giken flywheel off.
cheers guys

 

[pulsarboby]

there 17mm 12 bit socket as keiron pointed out.
if you havent got an impact gun then use a ringspanner on them and give it a heavy clout with a club hammer, that will break them loose

 

[gtirtrack]

cheers every1, will go give it a whirl lol.

11/16th fits well enough.....thats what i used to take it off and torque it up
