I don't know the fastener you are talking about first hand, but I do
have a set of "triple square" tools.  Like it sounds it is 3 squares
rotated 120° each to make twelve points total.  To be honest I have
never touched the half axels on my 4kq but Rabbits used a smaller triple
sqare for the half axel bolts, larger ones are used on VW group head
bolts.  I got a set of four from AutoZone for about $12.  Alternatively
you could pay a fortune and get them from Snap-on one at a time.
