    don't know if you got it yet, or if its the same but on my 95 its a 13/16" (i didn't have a metric that fit, so i used standard)

    If the auto parts store will let you bring the sockets outside to see which is correct you could slide under the car and see if it's a 20 or 21mm. That's how I got the right torx bit for my drain plug haha.

    If you have a caliper to measure the hex that would also tell you what you need.
