X-Squared nose bridge screws

[alol]

Hi,
Can anyone advise me the correct tool for removing the screws to repair the flex coupler. Nothing i have in either Torx or Allen will do the trick

Thanks

Is should be an Allen key (hex) 1.27mm or 1/16”. Hope that helps.

@zwc0442.....is that correct?

.050 Allen or t5 torx works. I usually use a wera t5 torx it seems to grab better. I've removed some stuck screws with tht torx that the Allen would slip.

That's the thing, i think Zach advocated a T5 soI bought a T5, It doesn't work, and all the extensive range of Allen or hex keys i have won't turn them. Bridge isn't wobbly loose but i just want it factory tight

Wish they had stuck to Rivets now. At least i would then know i have to shell out to remedy it. These are just a headf***

X squared nose screws are pretty notorious for corroding. If it's corroded it'll be a pain to crack loose.

Your best bet is to try too use a t6, ram jam it in there and get new screws once you get them out.

That is, If your original screws are stripped

I never ram jammed before. Is there a special technique I need to know about first?
