Special socket for Corolla engine head

[The_Unbeliever]

Hi Guys

Anybody know where I can get a socket to loosen/tighten the head bolts on a 1994 Toyota Corolla 1600 (fuel injection) engine?

Engine is a 4A-FE.

TIA

Just google for a triple square socket.

Those splines require 12 point sockets.

Normal sockets have 6 corners youre looking for a 12point probably 12mm. Gedore makes them and they are available at normal socket resellers, builders warehouse and Makro. and a 12 point will also turn a normal hex head.

Thanks for your feedback.

Now that I know what they're called. Will visit the local Builders [-]Whore[/-]Warehouse this afternoon for the right stuff.


edit : 2nd time Ponder helped me out.

Noted.

1/2" spline socket or something like that

Midas has a cheap spline socket set. Golf uses something similar on the CV's.
