Default Stupid Question. What type of socket is used to remove the girdle bolts

in the process of stripping the engine and the bolts that hold the girdle in seem different then a a traditional socket.

Anyone know what type of socket to use?

Will get a picture. Don't believe it is a 12 point.

When I search E-torx this image came up which looks to be the correct type "Thanks Armlocker"



In this image u can see the flat points which are different then a standard torx. Can anyone confirm this is a E-Torx or if they have a different name.

Cheers,
Michael

the bolts on the girdle do not have a standard torx head. The e torx socket above will fit. Sorry i dont know the exact size though.
