6 months ago, I could have told you. But the 914 I work on is about 70 miles away at the moment.

It's a 27mm on both sides. I use the 27mm wrench on the nut and an adjustable wrench on the bolt. Nothing wrong with adjustable wrenches if you use them correctly. They get a bad wrap because people use them for things they shouldn't.
