4AGZE timing belt tensioner issues

Gday, I am currently trying to get by head off of my GZE and I need to remove the timing belt and cams.
I'm down to the moving of the timing belt tensioner pulley in order to get off the timing belt and I realised
the nut fastening this is not a standard nut. It has a splined head and appears to require a special tool.
I have a 4AGE engine repair manual and it doesn't indicate the need of any special service tools
for its removal! Obviously the GZE is different. Does anyone know how to get this nut off?
I rang toyota and they have NFC about SSTs or anything about GZE disassembly. Could anyone help?
Thanks,
Joel

G'day Joel. The bolt in question has a 12 point head, as opposed to the regular 6 point on most nuts & bolts. You need to get either a 12 point socket or ring spanner (10mm I believe) which are pretty common & should be easy to find.
Most sockets & almost all ring spanners are 12 point, as they work on both 6 & 12 point bolts/nuts.

ahh thanks fellas , I've only got a set of opened
end spanners, and my sockets aren't long enough!
I think it time for a tool investment.
