I've seen them at Autozone .. They come in a kit of like 3 (different sizes).
I ordered mine from GermanAutoParts.com though.
Oh yeah, you could 'chase the truck' to get one too .. The Snap-On truck that is.

Napa has them individually so you don't end up with 2 you're not going to use..

I got the set at Autozone. It was somewhere in the $10-15 range. It includes the correct size for the headbolts as well.

I bought the fancy Hazet socket, but find that the one from the set I bought at Autozone fits the bolts better.

when you ask make sure you say its a star shaped. Most places do not know what triple square is. I finally found mine yesterday

Got a set of 4 at the local parts store. 6, 8, 10, and 12. So far, I've used everthing but the 10. You need the 6 in the tranny, the 8 for the CV's, and the 12 for the head.

Oh, yeah, when I was looking for them, the store called them "serrated wrenches" they said that "triple square" is the name of the bolts that they take out.
