Crankshaft bolt size

I need to turn my crankshaft to access the drain on the torque converter. What size socket fits the crankshaft bolt. It is so-well hidden that I can't even see it to guess.

I think it's 27mm. PITA to get to it. I think you need to remove the fan blade.

Yes 27mm or 1 1/16 SAE six point will work.
