Tool to remove Flywheel bolts?

[bgkast]

Can anybody tell me what tool should be used to remove the flywheel bolts? They have a strange star-shaped head.

It is a standard 12 point socket. Try it, you'll see.

Do these 12 point sockets come in a range of sizes or just a few? From searching I saw the sizes 10, 12 and 13 mm for these bolts. Thank you.

I believe the flywheel bolts have 12mm heads. It's a standard socket, you probably have one in your set.

Right, a 12 point, 12 mm socket is the one.

Right, I finally got it through my thick skull. Just a standard 12 mm 12 point socket.
