Engine cover removal

Does anyone know the size/shape of socket needed to remove the two bolts for the engine cover?

Thanks

I don't, I just grabbed one of those multi-sized ones at Autozone and use whichever one fits.

Yeah, the person that previously worked on it over tightened it. The 3/16 key seemed to fit. I broke the multi Allen/hex key tool and it started to slip.

I was able to use an invidual 5 mm allen wrench to open it. it was snug but i think it was a better fit.
