They're Jacob's
chuck removal wedges. You want size #6. Feel free to disregard the source in the link, It was just the nicest picture. You generally don't find them in Auto stores, but at large commercial or industrial hardware stores, or you can shop around on the net, but shipping charges can be significant compared to the $7-9.00 they typically cost.
