Hi John

they have a coarse thread so they can't be stripped easily and because the head is so small
usually a 1/4 or 3/8 drive socket is used...
but I always do them up as tight as I can..  without using large tools..

it looks like they designed the flexplate to go inside the bell housing etc..
then had to make up special bolts to bolt it together.... lol

cheers
