        A good quality, 12 point, 14mm socket will get them out.

        There is a special socket for them, but I've never needed one.
        Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

          Probably is, but a Halfords pro 12 sided just did a turn for me changing my head. Didn't move even with the silly tight torque settings.

            iirc it needs to be quite skinny to clear the casting on a few of the bolts (2.4). I turned down a deep 14mm socket to give the clearance when I did mine.

              Its nothing special, just a 12 point bolt head instead of 6, I've lost count of the heads I've done, and always used a 14mm 1/2 drive socket.
