Echo TR disc brake question ??

On an Echo TR front disc brake slave, is the bolt that holds the brake pads a 3 mm hex?

Or is it a "special" bolt head? All the other Echo brake bolts appear to be hex, but this bolt head seems a little messed up.

Bike is a 24" comp style Mk5. Bought it from TartyBikes 18 months ago, never had the brakes apart. I've lost some brake holding power, seems like maybe the pads are a bit glazed. Was trying to remove the pads, but the bolt wont take a hex key. 2.5 is too small, 3 wont go in. Bike has seen very little use, never in rain.

It's the same as the Hope retaining pin. 3mm sounds right, I'm not gonna run out to the garage and check right now, sorry.

Yes, already confirmed it is 3 mm. But the 3 mm hex tool in my set is a bit too big or poorly 'machined', won't fit. Other 3 mm tools fit fine.
