allen wrench size to remove seat?

[Murphysf]

Hello

I just tried to resurface / grind the seat in my shower that has the american standard tract line (see attached) however it was too recessed into the wall for the reseater tool I got.

I just ran to home depot and got this:

HDX 1/2 in. Heavy-Duty Fitting Brush 80-718-111 - The Home Depot

The HDX 1/2 in. Heavy-Duty Fitting Brush is used to clean the inside of 1/2 in. Dia plastic or metal fittings (not included) prior to soldering. This brush features high-carbon steel bristles. Contains

I used the brush on the seat and just put things back together. I will give it a few days to see if that worked.

Otherwise I think I will try and replace the seat as I have a new spare seat.

The new spare seat seems to be 1/4" allen hex. Does this sound correct? Does anyone know if the american standard tract line original seats are also 1/4"?
