Most of these use a special socket available at most parts stores, just for this purpose. I have one in the tool box and used it on both Ford and Olds. Pretty much one size fits most for 70s and 80's domestic cars...

Those sockets are cheap enough that it's worth buying one just to have, instead of messing with channel-locks or an adjustable wrench.
