A very small hex wrench.  Don't know exactly what size but it is small.

There are various opinions about un-sticking stuck PTO shafts.  In mine, 
the alcohol MAY work but I would not bank on it working very long.  I have 
tried a number of different ways of freeing PTO shafts over the years and in 
my experience, the best results have been to do the Ten Tec 
recommended rebuild.
