You might need to modify an 18mm socket to get a good grip on the flywheel bolts :-\

Depending on the actual bolts/flywheel fitted... the bolts are quite shallow headed, and on some flywheels, the body of the flywheel sits quite close to the bolts...

Also buy the flywheel from Vauxhall, it's about half the price of an LUK one :y

Don't forget new bolts too...
