No. They're a 12 pt bolt, about 17mm as I recall. You don't need a special tool, just a 12 pt socket. And you aren't supposed to reuse them, as they're a stretch bolt. You tighten to the torque spec, then add another 180 degrees.

Sorry shredr, I was thinking today I was wrong. The ones I described fasten the flex plate to the crank on the auto. The clutch ones look like this:

That is a pressure plate bolt, pretty sure the OP is asking about the flywheel bolt which would be this http://www.ecstuning.com/ES4830/



yes that should be a 12mm triple sqaure tool you will need.
