Does anyone know size of socket required for cam gear bolts. Photo is showing bolts, not my head lol. Getting ready tools and would like to order ahead of time. Thanks.

When I did mine I remember being buggered at seeing that. There ain't no way you're getting a socket in there with the camshafts in the engine, not easily anyway, maybe with a 3/8 or smaller socket. Torque is actually not that high and I managed to use the ring end of a 9(???)mm 12 point spanner without damaging the bolts at all.

Need to lock first bolts then rotate to torque. But wrench is good option to hold position prior to torquing them
