The opposite of a torx, can't remember the exact name, you can get em from Halfords and such like though.

Star Drive i think, halfords sell them, but when I went they had small sized ones, not the one you want.
I had to use hex shock socket to get the BASTARD off. Very tight

Halfords by me only stock to e16.
You can get a set of reverse torx from partco which goes up to e20 for bout £15.
Think the one one the crank shaft is e18.

They are easy to do, compared to the C20's. Just put it in 5th, get someone to put there foot on the brake and get a breaker bar on it. Your meant to replace it on refitting as its a stretch bolt, but mines been on and off several times with no problem, just use a bit of thread lock.
