Flywheel bolt socket

Hey all, I'm really struggling to find a socket to undo the flywheel bolts on my 4G93. They are 10 point bolts, and are not 12mm (I bought a 10 point 12mm, and it did not fit.)

I cannot for the life of me find another 10 point socket that is any bigger. Is there a specific Mitsubishi socket that works? Or even a cheap alternative. These are the last bolts I need undone so I can complete my 1.8 conversion, as I need to bolt on my 4G15 auto flywheel.

Thank you!!
 
Or maybe I'm looking at this all the wrong way. Do these bolts even need to come off? I'm a newbie and am learning as I go.
Image of the bolt is below.

Also below is random images of the flywheel and clutch something. Do these come apart and off the engine without needing to undo those stupid 10 point bolts? I have undone all the visible bolts on the front side, but it seems pretty stuck on there and I'm worried to pull on it in case I bend something I'm not supposed to.

I guess I'm just wondering if they should be coming apart with those fScreenshot_2022-09-27-13-50-34-40_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpgScreenshot_2022-09-27-13-50-19-78_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpgront bolts removed, or whether I have to undo the 10 point bolts as well. I just need the flywheel off the engine.

if manual: remove clutch cover (should be 6 or 7 small M8? around the perimeter) and there'll be dowels keeping the clutch cover in place. Pry it off and watch for the friction disc as it is loose inside.

There will be 6 or 7 large bolts in the center of the flywheel, holding it to the crankshaft. those are the ones to remove

outer holes: clutch cover bolts go in there (and the location dowels)
inner holes: flywheel bolts to crankshaft



without sounding like an old and grumpy kent: are you sure youre upto the task? you dont wanna stuff this up

Thank you so much. I just had a go with a small crowbar and pried the plate off that I was thinking needed the 10 point bolts removed. Was pretty stuck on there but came off. I just needed some reassurance that I wasn't going to break anything doing this lol.

To remove the 4G15 auto flywheel I needed to undo those bolts (different shape, same location) to gain access to the centre bolts of the flywheel, so I assumed it was the same here.

Again, really appreciate it!

I might as well give it a shot, I've already come this far and pulled the 4g15 and trans from my car. just need the old transmission bolted onto my 4G93 and it can go back in the car. Can't stop now :))
 
yeah fair, you've come this far! push on. its the way to learn.

dont forget the lock tite on the flywheel bolts into the crank and lubricate the pivot on the release fork
