    IIRC, it's 10 mm. Or is it 6 or 7? Definitely metric sizes. Get a set of Sears metric allen wrenches and you're all set. Plus, you need a 10 and a 12 mm allen to do the oil and transmission plugs, so having a set is worth the cost.

    Hello,

    6 is correct and if you buy a ball allen ( ball shape on the long end ) you will save some time and frustration.

    Do yourself a favor and go to Sears Hardware and buy one of those tiny, angled ratchet sets with a box of all of the allen-head, phillips-head, and various bits. It is perfect for removing 6 mm seat bolts, and lots of fasteners in and around the interior.
