Does anyone know where I can get a star socket that fits the cylinder head bolts on a 4age engine? I have tired all the local tool shops and they are too fat and short.

it needs to be an E16, with a outside diameter of less than 18mm and a depth of greater than 38mm.

Any suggestions?

I used a long 3/8" drive socket. The Halfords Professional series 3/8" long socket is a 12-point socket, just what you need.

All my other long sockets are hexagonal, and my regular sockets are 12-point, but too short.

Cheers,

Eddy

thanks... wish I had asked the question earlier... just back from halfords empty handed. oh well

Yup it's a 10mm double hex long socket.

Buy 2 because they are not really designed for the amount of torque involved. I've split a couple in the last year or so.
