I am removing the transmission and all related parts from my 200D parts car. The fly wheel is held on with bolts that I am not familiar with. The bolts heads look something like a multiple 'star' with maybe 10 points. It was starting to get dark so I could not see them very well. Anyone know about these?

12-point, I believe 13mm.

These threw me for a loop too, but it is stunningly simple. Just use a standard 12 point socket. I bet you even have one in your tool box, just take a look at the ends of your sockets and you will see....

Nope.....I became anti-12-point years ago from loosing so much skin off of my hand from working on rusty bolts. I do not have a 12-point all all of my tool sets. Looks like I need to get one.

Thanks for the info,; one and all.
