Do you have 12 point sockets? Should be a 3/8 I believe

Even 9mm 12 point is too big, have an 8 mm 6 point but it's too small .maybe try to find 12 point .

From the picture alone you can tell it's not a 6 point.
When you find the size (which my guess would be an 8mm 12pt), make sure you buy a similar wrench and socket, maybe a swivel and extensions too. While the sizes should all be the same, what tool it takes to get each bolt out may be different.
