Zetec ARP Rod Bolts - Socket Size
Tried changing these on Sunday night between the old engine and new.
But I did not have the correct socket.
It looks like a standard 12 point jobbie, but 9mm is to small and 10mm is too big.
Is there a special sized socket?
All my Torx sockets are 6 or 8 point.

Paul,
That was my guess and I have reserved one at Halfrauds for tonight, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't some 'special' sized
Torx.
Although, it does not appear that there are any 12 sided Torx.

Hi Andy,
It's a 3/8" socket. When you fit the ARP bolts don't use the torque figure in the Haynes manual, there's a special ARP torque
setting that you have to use, have a look at their website for info.
Cheers for the measurements yesterday btw :-)

Thanks for the help chaps
My purchase from halfrauds did the job nicely last night.
All torqued up to the ARP method of torque on-torque off-torque on etc...
Just got to put the damn thing in the car now.
Regards
Andy
