    bolt and nut are M10 and socet is 32mm IIRC. Probably best to wait for these to be confirmed though. You can use a few different sized sockets but I think 32mm is OK.

    the drive won't matter as long as theres enough room to get the bolt through. I would think most 32mm ones will be 1/2 inch anyway. I've never checked if there would be enough room in a 3/8 drive socket for the nut.
