Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
The hex that you would use if you are trying to remove the belt is a 14mm I believe. The bolts to remove the tensioner from the engine are definitely 10mm.
If it is a random problem, you may have to wait until it is a solid failure to find the cause. Could be the key switch, the neutral safety switch, the starter solenoid, or a cable connection. A mechanic would check all of these components for voltage when it will not crank.
