Question about ARP Head Studs?

[SupraCobra]

A while back a replaced my HG with ARP Head Studs. I have to remove the head again and I can't remember what size socket to use on the nuts of the Studs...

I can't get any of the sockets I have to fit the nuts with the cams on.

Did the ARP Head Stud kit come with a socket?

If anyone has any insight or advice on what sockets to use I would be grateful to be enlightened by you.

Studs did not come with a socket.
You'll need a 14mm 12-point thin-wall deep 1/2" drive socket.
Got mine at Sears, can't remember if I took the cams off first or not, but I think it cleared the cams anyhow.

you can get it with the cams on but you may need to rotate the cam to get some.

Thanks to both of you... Heading to Sears now.

iirc you can get away without messing with the cams if instead of using a deep socket use a regular profile with a 3/8" extension.

I managed to get around the cams just by turning them a lil and using a regular craftsman deep well 12pt 14mm socket.

/\ I think that's how I did it now that you say that.

That's the way I did mine.

Sears didn't have a thin-wall, so i got a regular 14mm 12pt 1/2" and it was too big w/o removing the cams...

Anyone know where else i can get a thin-wall 14mm 12pt 1/2"?

Try local parts stores. You want a chrome one, not a black one. You could use a 3/8 drive with an adapter, too. Make sure the adapter is impact(black) grade.
