I actually got mine at AutoZone. They had a three pack with different sizes. They may not know what they are. You might just have to go look.

DO NOT cheap out on these!! Nothing worse than rounding one of those suckers!
BTW - they are called triple squares and IF you are going to cheap out Lisle is the cheapest I have seen. Available at Autozone, Sears, etc. About 15 dollars each. I have two sets, Lisle and Matco and the Matco ones were about 4 times that per tool IIRC.

The Autozone (I guess Lisle) set worked fine for me. Didn't feel like paying the $25 or so Snap-On wanted for them. Besides, if you strip a PP bolt, they're really simple to drill out and the PP just slips right off the remaining stud.
Just DON'T try to use an extractor if you strip them, and have it break off. Then you'll be drilling for hours

hey brandon these are the flywheel bolts not the pressure plate bolts...getting a drill bit to drill these puppies out would be a pain because the heads are so big...but i guess you were talking about the same thing because you said the autozone lisle...oh well...im confuzled...haha

Another option is SK 19704 from http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/TTW387.html#2277.
Good product, good company. Only problem is the minimum order.

go to checkers. They have them there. Just go to the area with the tools in the back and they sell them in packs of 4 i think which have all different sizes. We called everywhere like u asking for a cheesehead or 12pt and everyone was just confused and said no we don't have it so we go done there and BAM there it was. Good Luck. They cost around $15for a pack

The local Kragan had a set of 4 when I was removing the CV bolts. My dad was the one who went to get them, but they probably ran about the $15 range.
I get the impression that most of the local parts stores should carry these.

For $10 more, get the snap one for $25 instead of the other brands. Most likely, you will have to impact these bolts off and as you observed, they are very large head bolts so they are next to impossible to drill out.
