I found a bolt and a couple of nuts the same size, jammed the 2 nuts on one end and stuck the bolt head in as my giant allen key...voila, one SST.

what size what size?!!!

or is there an actual socket i can buy cuase ill spend the money!

[bgrieger]

I think those are around 12mm, but don't quote me, as it's been 5 years since I've had mine off...drop a couple of bolt heads in until you find one that fits...

Buy a large allen key that will fit into the hex, cut off approximately 1 1/2" from the long end, fit that piece into a socket and you're good to go. If I'm not mistaken, they're 14mm. HTH
