Adjustment of the cross members requires loosening the hex head screws, but they have a vertical pin in the middle- so I can't use a regular hex head wrench. It looks like about a 4mm head. Anyone got one?

Could also call a tool place or drill out a hex head/allen wrench. Just throwing out some ideas.   Paul Kennington (P_kennington) Member Username: P_kennington Post Number: 80 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 12:01 am:    Thanks Alan- I'll try to drill out a hex bit before I spend $30! I called the dealership where I bought the rig to see if they remember seeing it. (I am not even sure what it looks like) and I'll check Ebay. Maybe if I can make a tool to get them out I will then change them for something NOT requiring a $30 tool! Cheers, Paul.   Dave_lucas (Dave_lucas) Senior Member Username: Dave_lucas Post Number: 448 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 07:42 am:    Paul, I believe that is called a secure hex, you should be able to get one from a decent tool dealer for a reasonable price.   Paul Kennington (P_kennington) Member Username: P_kennington Post Number: 81 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 09:43 am:    Thanks Dave! I'll try to get one today- failing that, I'll see what I can do with the dremel tool and a hex wrench... Cheers and have a safe weekend, Paul.
