Hi there, I am wanting to remove a cylinder head without having to take off the crankshaft pulley, timing chain cover, etc. I was able to remove one at the junkyard by removing the timing chain guide (the wedge) allowing for removal of the camshaft sprocket from the chain. The bolt that was holding it on there was some kind of star wrench bolt, and I had to hammer in a T30, strip the bolt, and then hammer in a T40 in order to remove the bolt, completely destroying the bolt in the process. I was able to remove the cylinder head afterwards but this process was not reproducible.
Is there a specific tool / star wrench that works correctly for this bolt? It seemed like the right size was somewhere between T30 and T40 but I couldn't find any in that range.
