Ayuh,... The actual bolts are 5/16ths" or 3/8ths"...
The socket heads are 3/8ths" 12-point, or 7/16ths" 12-point...

Once ya pull it apart, you're gonna new a new o-ring gasket to put it back together with....

Pull the drive and reach it through the exhaust bellows.
Come to think of it, If you can reach the Y pipe bolts, that probably means the engine is out which in turn means the drive should already be off.
