Nope, allen wrench. Six sided. Simple as that.

The only triple square I am aware of is for the door frame striker plate. I do believe it is 8mm.

OP did not state year of car. If is is a newer 911, 964 and forward, I can't comment. Wish my 81 had triple square but it does not. I just replaced all of them a few years back. Hex ports were getting tired and I am sure me and PO ham handing things was the problem.

I have the Irwin extractors. They are great but the bite can wear out over time on frequently used ones - i.e., 10mm size.
