if memery serve right is a 13 or a 14mm allen key which i didnt have so i used a bolt 13 or 14mm, locked two 13mm m8 nuts off on the thread then used a 13mm spanner.

perfect homemade too :)

Why Thank you tom,

my dad said the same thing when i did it?

i got a proffesional set of high tensile allen keys and the biggest i had was a 12mm and ive never used it,

so as i said used the head of a bolt and improvised :)
