It's 14mm. I use a long 9/16" nut from Ace Hardware, works great.

also you can double nut 2 14mm head nuts on a short 14mm bolt which you probably have lying around. then in a 14mm socket of course.

I tried the double nutting, and failed miserably. :( the plugs were in way too tight for that in my case, I guess.
