Size of Hex key for plugs on underside of intake manifold?

I tried doing a search and couldn't come up with anything. I'm going to sandblast the intake so wanted to take off the plugs on the bottom. Anyone know what size Hex key I would need for the plugs?

I don't feel like walking into Sears with the whole intake

Thanks guys!

bigger than a half smaller than a 17mm. my local sears didn't have anything to fit it in the store. i called the dealership and asked them, all they had was the size hole with thread and pitch. make sure to post it up when you do find out.

All it takes is a bolt at the hardware store. The bolt head will fit in the plug then you can attach some vice grips to turn the bolt. If you have a welder, just weld two bolts together on the threaded ends. Done.

Yep.... find a bolt in the parts pile with a head that fits, double-nut the other end and use is as a hex key.
