Correct. They are also commonly known as XZN or Spline bits, and is a very useful bit to have on hand for these cars. Not only do you need them for the headbolts but many eccentric alignment bolts and the driveshafts use them as well.

Thank you for the insight, I plan on trying them out in due time this summer.
