campag bottom bracket

[afl2]

Can some one tell me what size is the allen bolt on the campag ultra torque bottom bracket?
Can i take it off with a normal allen key??

thanks

10mm hex. Depends on your allen key, if it is a little one it might not have enough reach and/or hard to get enough torque (in excess of 372 in-lbs) to remove or install.

Don't buy a fancy tool - a normal Allen key will do. The long end is needed to get to the bolt and I put a hollow steel rod over the other end to get enough leverage.
