Robert:
A good hardware store will have the hex wrench. When I went to
buy one, my favorite store happened to be out. I used a grade 8 bolt,
with a pair of vise grips clamped on the bolt. I then slipped a short
piece of pipe over the vise grip handle and popped it loose. 'Course the
bolt was toast when I was done...

The first question of the New Year?
I'm taking apart my brake MC to powder coat it. I assume you have to
remove the 1/2" allen bolt to remove the tipping valve? If so, that
bolt is really tight. In the absence of a 1/2" allen wrench, I've tried
to remove it using the appropriate size hex-head bolt, but it's not
working. Any ideas? This gives me an excuse to buy a 1/2' allen wrench!.
