12mm IIRC, though I use a socket type so you can use a rachet drive on it. Do not overtighten when refitting otherwise you can get squeeky bushes.

You can get a 12mm hex sump plug key with a larger hex body that will fit into a 19mm(or something equally large) socket. If they are anything like mine, you'll need to get quite a bit of purchase on them before they budge.
