The main bolt on my A-8 alternator has a hex head...

The main bolt on my A-8 alternator has a hex head with four sides the same width and the other two sides a large width.

Is there a special tool for this bolt? It is very difficult to access.

Mine is a socket head (Allen). It is easy enough to access with the right extension, not too long not too short and maybe a flex head or wobble.

What year A8?
