3/8" or 10 mm. There's two per note one on top and one below
the wippen extension. You'll probably have to remove the wires
to clean the threads on a wire wheel (carefully).

My last encounter with one, since the lost motion would have to be adjusted
in near impossible quarters (each adjusted as each key is reinstalled),
I changed the capstans from square to a salvaged normal set with holes and
made a special tool to adjust them which I let attached on the 
interior of the piano
with a note on its usage.

The action isn't hard to remove after you've done it a few times.
I hate getting good at crap like this...
