Yeah, so Chrysler in their infinite wisdom decided too use these funky head bolts. They can only be removed with a 1/2" 12 point deep well socket (As suggested by the FSM)
Here’s the issue. Literally, Ive tried Autozone, Advance, Napa, and Carquest. No one has this socket for sale. Yes they have 1/2" deep well, but its always 6 point. I have a tall 12pt 1/2", but the stud on the top of the corner head bolts keeps me from getting a good bite on these things.
Anybody know where the hell i can buy a simple socket?
Here’s a picture of the head bolts
