So i have removed everything to drop the engine except the CV's.
I know I need a special 12 point start tool. What size is it? and does anyone have any good places to get one. Checked kragen already, and they didnt have any 12 point tools.


Also, i am trying to get the passenger seat out and it wont budge. The PO had the seats re-upholstered but upon re-installation the PO put the driver's seat on the passenger side and the passenger seat on the drivers side. The passenger seat is completely jammed and doesnt slide foward or back and only tilts in its current position. because it wont slide foward I cant access the 4 bolts that attach the seat bracket to the car. any ideas??

Hazet is probably the best; PerfProd and the usual suspects will have them.
MetalNerd [ MetalNerd Site ] also has good 12-point stuff. 8mm. Not really "12-point" they're 'triple-square' ...

But any NAPA store will probably have them - look on the pegboard of KD tools. You may find a version that you slip into an 8mm socket, in which case, get a good 6-point 8mm socket too.

hey we can't leave our friends at P-parts off the list of a source of that tool either ...or a friendly local teener owner might let you just borrow it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Many auto parts stores actually carry the 12pts
