So now I have a 10mm triple square....that spins freely in the bolt center without making contact with anything.

IOW, it doesn't fit.

So what now? I have no clue what kind of bolt is in there, except that I need a bit larger than a 1mm triple square. I supposed I could go back to the Snap-On guy (30km away), and buy a 10mm and hope that it fits, but I'm thinking that might end with me tossing said bit through the windshield.

If I can't see in there, how do I know what I'm dealing with here?

I'm off to find a mirror.

EDITED: Well hello, stupid....it's a 10mm allen bolt. Boy do I feel stupid now.

But hey, that triple square is sure a pretty tool.

all 123's have 10mm allen?

or are there some that came w/ triple square as OE? I haven't actually set eyes on my starter bolts, but I am trying to make sure I have the right tools ready for this w/e.

Don't be stupid like me. Use a mirror and look at your bolt first.

Would have saved me some trouble.
