    Replacing the despenser unit due to leak…I am 3 screws away from removing it but they are each in a locating hole. Ive managed to find a socket set small enough to get into the hole (approx 8mm diameter) but the 5mm was too small and 6mm was too big, same with imperial sizes. Is there a special tool for this? Help!

    Many thanks

    You need a 5.5mm nut driver or box key.
    You also may need to reduce the external diameter of the tool with a grinder to get it into the recesses.

    you need to buy a imperial socket set that contains a “quater inch drive”, as they say stateside.


    or just:
