I don't have the RTi's, so I can't tell you what size. Just make sure there is no slop. If there is more than a couple degrees of movement, it's the wrong size.

I'm still lookin' to buy a 9 and half 64'ths.
I seem to need it real regularly.... A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

it pays to get yourself a set of good Allen wrenches ("hex keys"); don't scrimp. And, yes, make sure you have an English and a metric set on hand... ideally, several :-)

I keep a little bag of allen wrenches. They range from very miniscule to about a half an inch. 'just keep trying until one fits nice and thight!
Tool grade wrenches should be had if you are going to do anything that involves metal (beyond the bolt) for anything greater than an 1/8th of an inch. A "star" screwdriver head will fit just as well for light light stuff (like a speaker) and is available in that size.
Allen wrenches (and mating bolts) are meant for items that are to be strongly (high torque) bolted together.
