Chris,

You need an 8 mm triple square driver (i.e., 12 points). Snap-on makes a nice long one or you can get one at NAPA. If you want to go cut rate, Napa will sell you the driver blade without the 3/8 square socket adapter. Just plug it into an 8 mm socket with a small ball of duct seal or Strip-Calk on the end to keep it in the socket Napa calls it an 8 mm Serrated Wrench, P/N 2304. It is 3" long, USA made, therefore, properly hardened and tempered.
