Cylinder head bolts.I thought they were 14mm,but I ended up stripping one.Is there a special socket ? I never attempted this before.

I hve had this problem also do not worry. Go to sears and pick a set of back out tools. They are sockets that have fins on the inside. A little hint use some pblaster fluid and a little heat it wiil work.

i my were 14mm. never had a problem stripping them out. I would suggest to use a bigger racther and when you are tring to turn give it a smack with a rubber mallet like you would a screw. If not then the backout works wonderfull

My '83 and an '87 that I just pulled the head off of both had 13mm 12 points. I thought I was going to break the socket trying to loosen the exhaust side. Lost some skin, but the Craftsman socket held.

Sorry to be so late on this. I've only done 87-88 heads and those bolts were all 12 point, 13mm.

I agree, good tools are priceless.
