You need an E12 socket. It's an extrenal torx.. Sears, Hardware store etc usually has these.

the only place I was able to score mine was the auto parts store, pep boys, autozone etc. its a e12 like stated above. its a internal torx the only thing that will work for me is like 18" of wobbler extensions. All of the ones that I have done the initial crack of the bolt is tough and then they thread right out easily.
