what size hex key for dummy plug/standpipe

Does anybody know what size the hex key needs to be to pull the standpipe and dummy plug on the 2007 6.0 powerstroke? Its bigger than 10mm. The one that was installed was 10mm, but the new one is bigger. I can't seem to find anything bigger than 10mm at Lowe's or O'reilly's. Gonna try Sears tomorrow or Napa. I'm just not sure what size to get other than its bigger than 10mm.

Have you looked at your local cheap tool store?
8 Piece 1/2 in. Drive Metric Impact Hex Driver Set

I think you will find the rest of the set handy.

You can buy a 12mm L Allen and cut it off and use a 12 mm socket with it. That's what I had to do

Lots of good ideas and I think mine would be the most $.
You should be able to pick up the needed tool at any auto parts store.
