T27, just snug it good when you tighten it and keep an eye on the gasket too

There are conversion sockets from 3/8" to 1/4" that you can get.

You might want to get some replacement fasteners just in case you have to go to step two. If you use loctite, use the blue removable.

Biggest mistake made is usually trying T25. T27 never comes in a set and can be a little hard to find. A guy at sears told me no such thing till I showed him empty spot for it on shelf. Wound up stopping the Snap On guy and buying one
