Re: Head bolt tool

[John Larson <jdlarson@ix.netcom.com>]

You're right Phil, it's 12mm. Sorry, brain fade here. Just finished a Toyata
with 9.5mm triple square headbolts, and it made my brain go numb. There may
be, however, some VW applications where the 10 is used, and it's used on
911s. You should have a 10 in your tool box anyway, for those CVs.
