Best getting a proper allen socket.
A key will probably bend

7mm fitment - same as ford
get a 7mm allen key from local motor factors, no need for specialist tool!

I just think the brake caliper key is nicer. They cost about £3 and are longer. They also have a nice rubber handle, which is good when the bolts are rusted in.
