Splined bolts that hold JX turbo on the manifold

[fixitsteve]

Can somebody tell me where i can get a socket to fit them. and what to ask for as i have had no success at Halfords and 2 Motor factors who don't seem to know what i'm talking about.

Its just a normal socket, one that looks like this.

Beware that the bolts will probably snap off when removing them and they're between 13 and 16 quid each

I've had turbos held to manifolds (on other engines) with external-splined fasteners before - E-Torx. They are to Torx fasteners what normal hex bolts are to Allen bolts.



Horrible things, too. Especially after a few years of being heated red hot then exposed to road mank.

I've come across 'em for head bolts, too - at least they're protected there, so still have corners when you come to undo 'em.

I thought you needed a special tool too, it's only that someone told me about two weeks ago.
