A 6-point socket will not work. It's E20 or nothing. The bolts are torqued TIGHT and most of them come from the factory with Loctite Blue on the threads. If you try to use something other than an E20 you'll round the heads off the bolts. I promise.
When I did mine I couldn't find anywhere locally that had a set containing an E20, let alone a stand-alone piece. A few places said they had kits that only went to E16, others laughed at me because they didn't think an E20 even existed. You're probably going to have to order one. I ended up calling my favorite independent Saab shop down the road and borrowing their E20 for a couple hours. Good luck!
