The original lug bolts were 19mm. Some of the common replacement ones are 17mm. I do not recommend using a bolt as an Allen wrench. Just get the right tool; it isn't that expensive.

Costs almost nothing, is smaller than the big allen, and weighs less for the track tool kit, and works perfectly: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1364679388.1.jpg) I actually bought this one at a FLAPS just for this purpose. It was like $1.50 while the 17mm Allen socket was like $20. |
