Default clutch fork

Does anyone know what size the bolt head is in the clutch fork? The bolt backed off the pivot and I'm trying to get it back on.

Don't remember the size off hand, but before you put it back on, use some red thread locker on it.

Once you unbolt the slave, you can remove the little shim thingy that it bolts onto and you should have enough room to tighten it. It would help if you had a swivel head wrench.

Thanks Snakeoiler in was a 1/2. The symptom was a grinding noise when the clutch was pressed in. It was the bolt on the fork pivot that backed out. I just took the slave off and tightend the bolt. Just thought I would post the cause and fix of it. Thanks for the help fellas.
