Driveshaft bolts + exhaust studs

[Jezza-7]

If these bolts are M8 spline, whats the correct socket? In halfords the sockets all come under t27 etc.

iirc my local Halfords didn't do the right bits :-(
I got a 'Laser' spline bit kit from GSF.

Might get them from ebay.

Can you remember how many spline it was?

[Jezza-7]

Is this by any chance the kit you bought?

Aye, that's the set. Though as Saf suggests for the driveshaft bolts it's useful to have a long M8 spline bit/tool. Otherwise with the Laser kit the socket which holds the bit has a tendency to catch on the CV boot and make undoing them a bit of a pain.
