    Hmm I tryed to put a 10mm hex key and it wouldnt fit...
    I dont know why they didnt make it a bolt that could be undone with a socket, it has to be done with a stupid hex key...

    9mm. 11/32 should also fit. I wouldnt have a clue why they made it that size because Ive never seen a 9mm hex key! I filed down an old 10mm key

    I had a check and 9mm is the same as 3/8? Am I correct?

    Its 9mm, 3/8 is close enough if your carefull. (about 0.5mm smaller but it can work)
    I've only ever seen one is a set, my old man bought them about a month after i needed it.

    11/32 = 8.73mm
    3/8 = 9.53mm

    11/32 is your best bet I would think.
