I just discovered, while searching for a fuel leak, that the fuel pump/distributor where the fuel lines hook up, has 5-sided nuts holding the leaking parts on. Where can I find the right wrench for these? This is for a New Holland TC40D. Looks like it should be easy to replace the o-rings to fix the leak, but I have to get it apart first. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Ed

Thank you for the quick responses. However....Those wrenches are larger than needed for this application. This is about 10-12 mm. Quite small. I ordered and just received the 5 socket (torx) set from Amazon. NO go. I think that the fuel injection people really don't want us into the pump assy.

That looks right! I will measure the nut exactly to be sure. Just found out how to measure from the flat to the opposite point. I will let you know tomorrow morning.

I thought this bolt had a male head, not a female? If female, try McMaster items 2722N11 and 2722N11, pentagon bits sized #6 thru #10.

I measured and the Amazon socket Mrmikey found looks like it will work! I just ordered it. Thank you all.
