5 stars for anyone that can tell me the above

Changing out piston and can't get the hex screw out, smallest Allen key I have is 1.5mm:doh:
Thanks

Try a 1/8"

Thanks for the reply.
I was being a complete moron

Looked inside and saw a tiny hex, thought it was about 1mm.
On actually looking with my eyes

it's a lot bigger, 3mm to be exact
Ah well, all complete now and da rangie lifts like it should:bounce:
Happy days

No it's 1/8 inch 3.2 mm if you use a 3mm Allen key eventually you'll **** it up and never get it out.

Ah well, installed a new piston so only needed to tighten it once, hopefully I won't have to change it again

Fingers crossed...
