Evening all,

Looking to do a DIY cambelt/waterpump change in the very near future. According to this DIY guide:

http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/94593-fabia-v...

I need a "19mm star socket" to turn the engine over at the crank to get it into position (TDC I guess). I'm probably being retarded, but what is a "star" socket? Is it a female Torx socket, and if so how does 19mm translate into Torx sizing (T10, T15, T20 etc)? I've tried googling "19mm star socket" but I'm not having any luck finding what I need to buy and where to get it.

If someone could point me in the direction of what I need to get I would be very grateful.

Cheers
