I got a Hazet 120mm long triple square bit 12mm labelled 12SLg

You can get it from http://www.europeantools.com.au/ and it cost me about $70. I think they are located up your way. You can get other cheaper brands but you would want something to handle the torque when you tighten it up to 60NM

Is it not M10 or M12 spline?

I have set like this and the right size is in there. As well as the 6mm allen key you need fo rthe inlet manifold bolts.

The exhaust maifold nuts are the worst. It might be easier to disconnect the downpipe from the manifold and lift the lot off in one then work on it on the floor.

I blew my G60, wasn't pretty.........

Yeah M12 spline bro.

Exhaust is a pain in the @rse. Do like Gav says and disconnect lower down and pull off in one go.

Good luck with the rebuild, I`m here if you need any help. I`m actually gonna be helping Ibeezer with his clutch in peakhurs on Saturday, so give me a bell if you need any help / tools
