I believe the original poster meant allen key type wrenches as opposed to box/open end wrenches when he asked about Hex wrenches. The sizes needed are 3-4mm (not sure which) to adjust the throttle switch and 5,6,and 8 for everything else. Armrests are 6, H2O bolts are 6 & 8. AC bracket is 8. You'll find them in the darndest places.
