Thanks for the DIY - I've read through it (and watched many videos) several times, and it will certainly make this job much easier.
I finally acquired a set of BE rod bearings and I'm now assembling the parts and tools I need for this job. The one question I have is regarding the 12mm socket for the OEM rod bolts. In this thread the terms 12pt, bi-hex and double-hex are used - but I believe these all refer to the same fastener type with a 120* angle on the point. This is different than a triple-square with a 90* angle. So my question is - is the head on the OEM rod bolt a double-hex or triple-square? I can't really tell from the photo I saw posted in this thread.
