I think you will find they are torx bolts not Allen hex . Probably size 55 . They’ll be very tight . Gentle heat with a micro flame torch will be your friend here .

Thanks very much for that...

So corroded it's and to see what it is.

Looked on eBay to see if I could identify drive pattern from new ones but no luck.

Try the heat too.

Thanks.

Mike
