I am pretty sure it is 30mm.

Don't buy 12pt, buy deep, impact rated, 6 point socket.

with your avatar this comment looks sarcastic.

As said above, don't get a cheap 12 point socket for this, a 6 point deep socket with a nice breaker bar will make all the difference.

+1 for a deep 30mm

they should be 30mm unless they are aftermarket i believe

they are only a few bucks from supercheap anyway - although last time i went there they had several of the next size up and down but no 30mm
