Default Strut Brace Bar

This is for an '86 928S 32V Auto.

Pardon my really stupidly simple question, what hex key size do you use to remove the strut brace bar across the engine? It's a security hex key right?

I was about to do a tune up when I realized nothing in my tool kit fit the bolts so I stopped before I even started =.= I need to buy the tool but don't know what size is needed.

+ Edit:

8mm, got it. Thanks Shane!

Also, I need a left air intake tube for the '85-86 models. All other versions, even the UN don't fit or so I'm told. Anyone have a good one for sale? Mine are plagued with holes =.=

8mm hex, you can also double nut a 8mm head bolt and use that with a standard wrench.
