24mm or 15/16 on the bolt, and a 1 inch or large adjustable on the cam...

Times like these is when Harbor freight tool company is bomb. You can buy a set of sockets you are only going to use a few times for the price of a single socket!

MIT is pretty good too. I'll tell you this, I have Snap on, Matco, and cheap Prosource tools, and I use my Prosource ratchets more than the Snap ons. They're very loose 64 tooth ratchets, so I get about 5 degrees of swing, and I can still turn a fairly loose nut or bolt with them.

My Snap ons are tight, and 32 tooth. They did just come out with some 80 tooth ratchets though. At 80 bucks, I might have to pic one up.

the bolts that hold on the cams to the head are 10mm.

The large bolt in front to hold the cam sprockets on are 24mm.

and then you need a 1inch wrench for one came, and then a 1 1/16 or whatever the next size up is for the other.

the cams seem to have an uneven shape on the hexagonal part where you put the wrench. one side is 1" and the other is like 1-1/16". so every time you turn it you have to change wrenches.
