They look to be a 12mm or 14mm double-hex socket mate.

Try Bunnings, Repco or a Toolshop.

hey reece, just ur regular 7/16 or 11mm double hex socket if they are arp's or maybe even the stocks are the same.

Hahhaha i'm nub i should have known this.

I got full sydchrome sockets. crap load of them and i was thinking on the way home that the bolt is just Double hex not single hex like all other bolts. Which all sidechrome, snap on etc brands do double hex for there sockets.

Tested it and realised its a 11mm socket and yup i felt like a douche after.

hehehe felt like an idiot after i realised that my sockets are double hex and the bolt is just double hex. Never really see double hex that much so when you see so many teeth you start to get scared and confused

Ok so im at this point and ive removal all the bolts in red circles plus a few undernieth and ive just left the bolts on the main engine mount and one on the rear mount. Im unsure if i just unbolt it all and slide it out will the inner cv joints come out? or do i have to remove the inner cv joint boots etc?

I've done this once before but ive completely forgotten.

Wat are you doing to ur motor dude??? when i removed my gearbox i firstly removed the drivers side shaft completely but left the passanger one in, just popping it out of the gearbox plus im pretty sure ur gonna need to unbolt the halfshaft or its not gonna tilt to let u remove the box.

Goodluck

starter motor has 2 bolts from memory, you;ll need to support the engine with jack and wood so it will not damage the sump, drain the box, remove cv, and it'll take some force to remove it, you'll most likely need a pry bar or some form of wedging point and a breaker bar.
also the top mount connecting to the g/box needs to be undone as well

No really lol, jokes. if it makes it easier for u just remove the cables attatched to the starter and leave it on the box, but careful cos the main feed is unfused battery.

wasn't there a diy thread on this ? might wanna look into those shift linkages as well in case you haven't done anything with them
