I believe the large posts are 1/2" /13mm, the small posts are 8mm or 10mm, and the mounting base uses a 10mm socket if i am correct. Take at least those and you should do fine.

If you don't have that, simply jump the two large posts with a metal object (Something substantally larger than a bent paper clip unless you want burned fingers.) for a minute and then start the truck and drive it to where your tools are.

I would suggest using an end wrench just for that reason. They are made out of plastic and snap pretty easily.
