I started by getting my MiniMoog keyboard level after fucking it up the other week and intend to continue by replacing my M400's six most sticking pinch-rollers with the ones that Martin sold me, er, some time ago. I don't want to mangle the nuts using a socket that's slightly too large. Yeah, I can try different ones until one fits, but it'd be good to know in advance whether I'm wasting my time using a standard imperial/metric set.

I've got all the manky old gunged-up rubber hammers out, but there's still some sticky residue left in the hammer sockets and I'm trying to work out the best way to remove it without either a) damaging anything, or b) leaving anything in there which could affect the ones about to go in.
