    Look binding heel DIN allen wrench size?

    I know I can just go into the hardware store and try a few out, but does anyone know the allen wrench size for the heel piece DIN setting adjustment on a Look binding? I freaking cannot get a screwdriver to turn up the setting so looks like I'll need the allen wrench.

    No, bring both. Adjust your bindings. Leave.

    I just adjusted mine last week -- IIRC, it's a metric allen, and a large one -- like 8mm, maybe bigger.

    I can check for you later & get you the exact size, or if you need it now, find someone with a good assortment of bicycle tools -- they should have a bunch of metric allens.

    I couldn't get the screwdriver to turn either, so I went with the allen key. However, you can also try this: get the largest screwdriver you have with a 4-sided (square) shaft, and use an adjustable wrench on the screwdriver shaft. The adjustable wrench will help you get enough leverage to turn the Look screw.
