Want to take the akra off as carefully as possible.

Anyone have a link to the ideal socket for the bolts going into the head? Look like 12(?) pt star

That?s the one. Try and get a short socket as there isn?t much space unless you remove the radiator.
 
give nut a good squirt of wd before hand, or if to tight (shouldn't be much more than finger tbh) will bring the threaded bar out the head.

It?s also worth giving the socket a tap with a plastic hammer to make sure it?s fully seated against the bolt before loosening. The inner bolts are difficult to access and if you try and loosen with the socket at an angle you will likely round them off.
 
Use a wobble bar extension if you have one, just gives you that 15 degrees or whatever, helps keep the socket square..
