: 7mm. You'd be better off using a 7mm hex that fits on a socket wrench.

   I'll second that (assuming you can find one of course - pickings
were mighty slim around my parts when I went looking for 7mm stuff).
It will take you a little while with a regular allen wrench since
you can only give it about a quarter turn at a time. It is most
certainly doable with a regular allen wrench, but a socket wrench
would sure speed things up. :-)
