M103 head bolt tool?
Can anyone tell me the size of the tool needed to remove these?
They're the triple square from my memory. |
It costs about $25 at the dealer and is well worth . Any after market tools will destroy the bolt when you will torque them.

12M . . . I've used an "aftermarket" driver for years without harm.

I too subscribe for the MB tool or FACOM.

Hitman, yeah, they are the 12mm,12-point torx type.
Do not even try to use a 6-point torx!!!! Pep boys sells a set that has the correct size. But, as stated above, those head bolts are on REALLY tight if they are original. So, the cheapie Chinese tool might fail. Here's a tip; when you are loosening them, take a strong pull on the wrench, then have a buddy tap the top of the breakover bar with a large hammer. They are screwed into the iron block, so you won't hurt anything, and the tap helps break them loose. Kinda like a Vessel hammer-impact driver we used on motorcycle case bolts. When re-installing the bolts, be sure to check and oil the washers under the bolts (new bolts have washers built-in). If not, they will gall when you pull them down (personal experience). DG |
Picked it up for $19, gotta love half price days. :D
