I think that you may find that you have to remove the spindle carrier to replace the front wheel bearings... in that case the hub can be held in a vice and the nut undone from the back. I do NOT think that you will be able to replace it in position.. but I may be wrong on that one. But as regards the size of the hex key sorry cant help with that one..

  Yes i had seen that one,but i hadnt
 read it that you must first remove the
 spindle carrier before the wheel bearing
 can be changed,as you said b/f you dont
 think it can be done in posistion and you
 may be wrong on that.
 But your not according to the pdf.
 Thanks for getting me the info required
