It's a 1/2" drive (just stick the socket wrench in there without the socket) which is located down on the actual pulley, not where it attaches to the motor. Pretty sure it's the same on the v10 and v8

Should work just fine as long as you push the handle to center of the truck (atleast my 5.4 goes to the middle.)
