Yes, 10mm...buy a 3/8" socket with a 10mm allen wrench head from sears, maybe $7.

If you use a 1/2" drive socket, or one with a larger O.D., it may not fit down the hole for a couple bolts...FYI.

an extension would help. i jsut used the allen wrench head with a 3/8 socket and used the boy from the jack as an extension.
