It's much bigger than 14mm don't think they are named after their size in mm.

Don't get a long one like I did as you will need it again if you plan on changing the rear discs and the long one was aquard.

You might also need a m8 splined bit to stop the ARB links nut spinning.

It's not torx, it's spline (triple square) as said before.

Halfors do a set for £22 which are good and short.

Most places will sell you a franklin one on its own which may do this job buts way to long for back brakes.

I had my franklin one machined shorter

Good shout baz
