Hey all,

I want to take the back off my Macbook Pro (13 inch - late 2013) but can't seem to find any reliable info anywhere on the web as to exactly what size allan key I need. It's obviously pretty tiny, does anyone know what size / where I could buy the correct key from? Tried several DIY stores here but they don't have anything small enough.

Amazon has a few keys claiming to work but most of the reviews often state they're the wrong size.

Thanks very much for any help in advance!

What you are looking for is a P5 Pentalobe- Not an Allen (hex) key at all.

I bought a couple of different set a few years ago and despite not being very tech savvy have managed to replace a couple of hard drives and upped the RAM in various machines. And replaced the battery in my Sat Nav - useful little set of tools,
