Can't you just try a few different bits and use the one that fits best?

Hey,
I'm almost done refurbing mine and the correct tool is an M8 Spline don't use the torqz tool it will damage/burr the heads of the bolts and they aren't cheap to replace!

Everything done myself bar powder coating- who i've given to a pro to do otherwise they will corrode fast and need a refurb as soon as the water gets in.
Theres a guy on ebay who sells the M8 Spline for next to nothing.
