Default What tool do I need to remove the head bolts on the 30V?

<center><img src="http://tomasz.data2net.org/gallery-albums/album109/Picture_005.jpg"></center><p>the bolts look like T50 or so torx but they are too deep in the head for my bits to reach them. Is there a specific tool for this or do I just need extra long torx bits?

Hmm, could they be triple-square?

Default I believe it's a 12mm triple square, but it's gotta be long......

if you have an early model, it'll be a different size even, but the new bolts will be this triple square.

Default Depends if I get the tool by this weekend. I still need to remove the exhaust manifold

and some of the lines at the back of the head, otherwise it's pretty much ready to come off.

Default Right, but they switched somewhere in production.....

you may get triple square ones when you buy the replacement head bolts.
