ok, i had the machine shop put on the piston rings and eagle rods together. now i've come to a problem. the bolts the hold the rods together are some weird looking nuts. i wanted to know if anyone knows exactly what tool i need to remove the bolts so i can put them in the crank. here is a picture so you can see what i mean.

 

Those are 10mm 12 point aren't they?

 

no

 

they should be 10mm 12 points , i thought that is what eagle uses.

 

Well what are they then?

 

I think its a 12 point 3/8. I went to 4 different stores till I found one that fit.

 

i got it to work. thanks for everyones help. and for your information a 12pt 10mm socket worked perfectly.

 

A 10mm 12 point socket will work on Eagle Rods but the proper socket to use is a 3/8 12 point.
