Early model Bentley says:

Use a 15 mm allen wrench, don't make due with an SAE size- it will not
fit well enough to prevent stripping.

As for the socket, I recommend getting it in a 3/4 inch or larger drive
and a same size breaker bar. Do not expect to use a ratchet on the
thing, it will be subject to a large amount of stress. 

The socket size is 30 mm.
