What bit needed for those flywheel bolts?

I have a torx 55 that fits it, but is there a bit I could get that has all the points on it? Size?

Thanks.

You need a 12mm XZN drive tool, and a high quality one too. I personally have Stahlwille and Hazet. They both have a slight interference fit. Others I've used have some clearance built it and are notorious for stripping.

Pep Boys should have a set of cheap 12 point internal bits that you can get quickly.

Not the best quality, but may work for you.

you can get a set of 4 different sizes "triple square/cheese head/xzn" for like $8 at your auto store, they work fine, just make sure you seat the bit fully in the bolt head or youll be back on here complaining how those bolt heads strip so easily...
