    get a 10mm allen key, cut a bit off it with the hacksaw, then loc-tite it into a 10mm hex socket with a 1/2" drive (cause that's what your torque wrench will ahve when you go back to do them up )

    my torque wrench is 3/8th

    I'll be going to supercheap auto tonight and seeing what I can find.

    its only torqued to 65 foot pounds, so 3/8th is big enough, and I can probably get away with a cheap 10mm socket (I hope )

    yes they are right, 10mm hex/allen. I went and checked,
    I also looked at the bolts from a head I removed and sold two months ago they were standard head 14mm obviously imprevised replacements.
