Default crankshaft bolt size

i've tried every size and can't figure out which socket to use. i'm trying to turn the engine over by turning the crankshaft manually. i don't have my car right now and won't see it till tuesday so if anyone could be kind enough to take a quick second to see if they could figure it out for me so i can just quickly fix my car when i get to fix her next. thanks

15/16ths or 24mm. Either one will work.

i wish i knew this before i bought the 1 1/16th and 1 1/4 sockets.

autozone is useless too... the guy said he used to have a 95 mustang and was like it's metric a 17 mm should be good
