Siva Nasanakota - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

what type of nuts are showing in last step? those are hexagonal nuts but with what size?

Wara - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Just followed this howto on my Yoga 2 13: the size of the bolts is 4.5. I know because I only have 4 and 5 sized tools, and they didn't fit. I used pliers too, it works.
