Trying to pull the head on a friends tC but I don't know what kind of star head the bolts are. I have a star set but none of mine fit so I don't know if its a special metric star head or what? Can anyone give me a heads up on the size/style so we can go buy a set?
Thanks everyone

If ur talking about the nuts that hold the head to the block, there 1/2 12pt socket

Correct! It's an inverted 12pt. You Might get lucky if you can rent one at your local auto parts store, but I didn't have any luck with that. I think you can only get that socket in a set for around $50, I wasn't able to find just the socket. My bro in law works at a shop and I was able to barrow it from them so that saved my @$$.

Thanks guys! Hopefully we can rent it or find just one and avoid buying a $50 set.
