IP bolt size?

I am in the midst of a teardown due to a headgasget letting go while hauling horses. I need to get the IP off and don't have the right size socket for the IP bolts. Someone please tell me what size this B@#^#$# is so I can go buy the right size and get on with my week! Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the nuts that hold the pump to the gear housing?

As I recall, they are 9/16".

My guess is the IP drive gear bolts.
5/16" 12 point socket and you probably have 6 point sockets.
