How do I swap the chain cage on this Shimano XT RD M760 rear derailleur?
I have an XT rear derailleur that's had the upper knuckle bent in a crash and I'd like to salvage the medium length chain cage off it. The cage doesn't have a removable limit screw like other Shimano RD's .
It looks like I have to remove this recessed allen head screw. Has anyone done this and or knows what size Allen key?

Thanks for your replies, my 2mm was too small and 2.5 too big.... eventually got the bolt out by jamming in another driver tip. Not recommended by Shimano but cage off now.
Thanks again 👍
Thanks again 👍
