CV joint torx key
Where can I get the right size torx key for undoing the CV joint 12 star bolts.
I've got a set marked M40 (to small) M45 (to big) what's the right size and where can I get it?
Thanks in advance'
Glen

I'm based in tasmania.
I cleaned the bolt heads out and asumed they were torx, haven't damaged any of the bolts but I could tell the torx wasn't exactly right.
Thanks or the info, I'll try the local shops and see if I can turn anything up.

The 3/8 ratchet drive is the proper 12 star key for the CV joints, the round plate with the holes is for drilling 4 extra dowel holes in the crank and
flywheel so I can run 8 pins.
The long shaft is the clutch alignment tool and the large cog is a torque drive for undoing and tightening of the flywheel and rear wheel hub, works a
shit load better than a long breaker bar, so much easier.
