Question Ring Gear Backlash Adjuster

Have found it necessary to make a tool to loosen the ring gear backlash adjusters on my 9.25 rear end.
Does anyone know the size of nut or bolt that will fit in the adjuster? Plan on using a nut or bolt, piece of rebar, and a cheap socket with a little bit of welding to make the tool.
Just missing this one critical piece of info.
