« on: 30 April 2006, 14:08 »
Hi,

Make sure it's multispline.

Yeah definately agree there, if you attempt to use an ordinary allen key it will strip the splines. I know GSF does a three piece kit which comes with the spline tools for the driveshaft and head bolts plus an adaptor for fitting to a 1/2 inch drive ratchet for about a tenner. :smiley:
