That's not a tool you buy by size normally,
You buy it by application, '12 point CV joint screw' tool, like from Bus
Depot or wherever.
It's not an allen, and not a torx.
Or a good tool truck, you see a Mack or Snap on truck, flag 'em down -
spendy but usually very good tools, and guaranteed.  Even a flaps is likely
to have one if they are half good and into ferrun cars or vw's.
