dangerous chance of rounding it off, best getting the correct square insert

your better off using an 8mm square bit becaseu as steve said you can risk rounding it off and you really dont want to do that. iirc the 8mm bit also fits the bolt that hold your manifold to the gear box aswell (thats if you have a bracket)

8mm square bit is what you need, don't risk damaging it using anythin else. only cheap to buy.
