Can you guys tell me about what size & type tool to use for this head bolt update. They appear to be Torx about 14 or 16.

I think a 11 mm 12-point socket fits very snugly for the 22 ft-lbs required.
Have any of you used the 12-point socket for these bolts heads.

Also, when replacing 1 by 1 at a time does it mater about the sequence of bolt replacement since pre-load exists?

As always thanks for the advice,
CW
