I have just bought a T55 socket from halfords to remove the Head but its too wide to fit into the hole 
Its a ½" drive so im guessing ill need a ¼" but will these fit for Def or will i need a certain type?

DO NOT USE A HALFORDS ONE! my mate snapped 2 on his derv and ended up using a clarke or deaper one (they are both similair) instead.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

You need a long T55 that fits into a ½" drive socket, then it will fit down the hole.  Stan. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

smegal, i only use halfords stuff (trade) and if you get the pro range ones (which also come in longer sizes to fit) they are perfect. Ive removed several heads with mine and no problems. ________________________________________ 309 GTi6-T |

The one i got is a Franklin or something, but i usually always get halfords on trade just for the piece of mind of free replacement as i seem to be good at breaking tools, Especially ratchets |

I have loved my halfords tools but have broken countless torx bits (admittedly they replace them for free) ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

My head bolts look more like the sockets rather than the headbolts pictured |
