Autzone/Kragen sell this size allen driver in a 3-pack with some other hex sizes. It's in their crappy chinese tool section. You'll need a 1/2" ratchet also.

I started with a cheapo 17mm from a parts store. It was just a little bit too small, and started to round out the plug on my ZF. I immediately quit and waited until I could find a good quality part. I got mine from Snap On. It has a big, beefy hex in a socket, and works great.
I would suggest finding a good hex before you start this job.
