If you HAVE to avoid trying a few different size sockets... ...it took a 9mm for mine.

Mine was too.
I had to use an open end wrench.
The 8mm was too tight so I had to go with 9mm.
You can try by hand, hope you ate your wheaties

I ended up using the 8MM.......the terminal was too loose, so the ratchet wasn't really doing anything because it wasn't lined up. So I used my hand just to hold the socket as I spun it. I did it, finally.

When I used a 8MM a few times it stripped mine, so I got some new bolts and now use a 5/16, it's a snugger fit.
