power steering bolt

Hi,

Does somebody know what kind of wrench do I need to loosen this bolt?

It has 12 tooths with outer diameter of 22mm.

Thanks!

It looks like a spline bit would work? I looked at it on my FD and it takes a hex bit instead.

I can get only M18 spline bit, but it is too small. It should be M22....

IIRC youre suppose to use a really big adjustable wrench ( i had to go to harbor frieght to get one that big) the hex inside is finger tight... ones you break the large nut free it will come loose..

(did this to do my manual rack conversion)
