yep a star drive fits- i did my clutch today.

Although the flywheel bolts have more indents than a star socket it works fine- i panicked today as i bought a set of star drives yesterday for this job and thought they wouldnt fit...phew!

Also the pressure plate is held on by 6 hex bolts, use a bar with a normal socket (splined not hex) on the crankshaft pulley to stop it turning- the bolts are torqued to 100nm and take some undoing!! :smiley:
