Head Bolts Tool for K10

[Micra 110]

Does anyone know what kind of Socket I need to take the Head off a K10?

My Head Gasket has gone

12mm socket, has to have something like 12 sides as well

Cheers curtis

My search is on.......

just a normal 12 point socket will do, just like the ones on the flywheel but there 14 mm

So they are normal hex bolt heads.

No special tool required, is that correct ??

 

[curtis]

Yes 12mm

I didn't realise they were 12 point bolts.
Thought everyone was saying they were Hex (6 point) bolts & just use 12 point socket.

Took rocker cover off today & saw the head bolts are 12 point bolts.

Didn't even know these type of bolts existed.

My socket set has 12 point sockets, but have always just used for normal hex bolts.
Never seen or had to use on 12 points bolts before.
