Head Removal Tool?

Post by fred130111 »

Just a quick one, I have some Sh!t Halfords tool set and basically need to remove the head, am I right in thinking there is 10 bolts and they have some weird head to them that need to be undone, then it should just pull off?

Cheers

Also if someone could send me a link to the exact tool I need that would be great :)

Don't think the thing in my Halfords box is right.

You need a M12 XZN spline bit - not an ordinary spline,
