Be careful if you use the allen. If it doesn't come easily, don't twist till it strips. The tool will do a better job than the allen if they are sticky. I stripped one with an allen, then got the others with the tool no problem. Then we used an easyout on the stripped one, but it was trashed at that point.

They are all over Amazon. Also, you may have to heat up the pins to get them out if they were installed correctly the last time. Might as well plan on putting a heli-coil or two in also. Use red loc-tite when installing the heli-coil too.

I have it out in my shop if I get a chance to find it before someone else posts the size.
