Din Insert Allen Key Size

Can someone confirm which size allen key you use to remove the inserts for Din/A Clamp adaptor inserts please ? I think it is 8mm, is that right ?

Just buy a whole bunch, they're cheap enough and you can never have too many allen keys.

Tescos ones stop at 6mm. You need an 8.
