  Tom, An Allen wrench should do the job.

  hi
if you have a 8 sided screw with a recess., you might be able to use a 4 sided square drive in the recess
measure it , it might be 1/4 inch, then use a 1/4 inch drive breaker bar with a extension,
you will have to push it in, and turn at the same time, make sure you soak it with a rust buster,first
it mighr be a special FORD TOOL, a 8 SIDED ALLEN WRENCH,,
hope this helps
