The two bolts that hold the muffler to the cylinder on a 61, what tool do I need to remove them?

I tried the same hex key that took off the bolts holding the muffler support bolts but it didn;t seem to catch on anything.

I looked on line and there was a video with a guy taking bolts out with a 5/16 socket but I tried and it won't fit in the holes on mine.

I figure some here knows....
Thanks
 
If they’re recessed they’re probably 5mm hex key (Allen). The one you’ve been using for most of the other screws is a 4mm.
 
Some of the older husky saws had muffler studs that protrude from the muffler and took a 8mm socket. That might be what you saw on the video

Yeah, mine are the recessed ones way at the bottom of the hole.
