Go to a _real_ hardware store.  One that has a bunch of older men working 
there.  The tool your looking for will be in a small flat drawer in a big 
chest of small flat drawers.  I don't know what they're called but it's 
just a piece of 7/16" bar stock about 2" long.  They come in all sizes.  
Stick it in the hole and put a wrench on the end.  Most American cars use 
3/8" or 1/2" so you can just stick a socket drive in there.
