Toyota Part 09181-05010: Emergency Handbreak Release Tool

[estate]

Does anyone know the size of the Allen key (I think its an Allen key) for releasing the handbrake as I've misplaced my original one and I'm sure I will have an Allen key, that I can keep with the car, that will do the job, if or when I ever need it.

As you probably know there is a seal over the hole, to gain entry to the Bowman cable that's used to release the brake and this has to be replaced after you break into it, so I'm reluctant to break the seal to find out what size it is.

The size is 4 mm. The same as those supplied with flat pack furniture, but at least 105 mm long for reach.

My Allen key is in the boot with the tool kit. Just check yours.

Thanks Konrad C.

Yes I did have one but I must have lost it when I removed the polystyrene that holds the tools and puncture repair kit, and replace it with a spare wheel. I'm wasn't happy when Toyota replaced the full size wheel with the puncture repair kit, so I bought another wheel.

Thanks again Konrad C.
