Default Pulling the cab off, Unbolting steering shaft question!

I plan on pulling the cab later this week but Im scratching my head as to how Im going to unbolt the steering shaft just out of the cab. Its right where the rubber "bushing" or "connector" is. This would be my ideal spot but I dont know where to get the 10-13pt socket. Its like a torx socket but with more points...

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ian

Important note on steering shaft replacement: DO NOT spin the steering wheel with the shaft disconnected. Some of these trucks use a clockspring to run the horn and cruise, break it and it's about $150 to fix it. Tie the steering wheel to the seat frame before you disconnect the shaft.
