Driveshaft bolt type??

[Seanl]

Need to remove my driveshaft to remove the old engine but dont have the bit for bolts.

Its a kinda torx bit but has more splines. Does anyone know what its called and the best place to get one.
Also is it the same thing but in male form for the plate??

Cheers all.

Spline socket, 6mm iirc.... Halfords should sell them

Ahh yeah sorry, should have done a search first.  :embarassed:

Asked lots of times already! Not paying the £30 halfrauds want though. Fleabay it is. 

Thanks for quick reply Thom.

8mm aint it?   Which ever it is I can always tell which one it is as its the filthiest in the set...

In all honesty, I cant remember, could well be 8mm

Yeah on searches most suggest M8. Will just get a set off fleabay for a tenner.
I'd better put a shed load of penetrating oil on though as their probably not the best quality for a tenner 
Probably only ever use them a couple of times though so shouldnt matter too much.

Are the ones on the clutch plate the same sort but in male form??
