That sounds about right, but if you want to be sure, then download the manual:

G'day people
While on the subject. I'm off to get a 10mm extended socket to do mine and just need to know what style I should get.
Is a 3/8" drive socket long enough or do I need a 1/2" drive?
And would a 6 sided work or do I need a 12 sided one?

I used a 3/8 drive, the 1/2" drive will be too big, get a single hex the 6 side as will less likely to round off the lock nut.

I thought you needed to use a special tool or at least a modified one. please explain

Thanks for all of the info folks.
I'm thinking of improving the special tool by welding a nut on top so I can use a ring spanner to tighten it while still holding the screw driver on the adjuster.
Clever hay?
