szabofly pivots

#1

Post by brandonreed2008 »

ok so my friend came to me with a szabo asking me to tighten the pivot screws. So I went through my tools and found that T10 is too big, T9 is too small, metric hex does not fit, and standard hex does not fit. I looked through the forum and found someone did a review on it and put that the pivot screws were T10 but I have T10 bits new and old from different companies and they don't fit. Should I have him send it in or what (yes, he is in the military)

Will the T10 not fit, as in is it too small/big for the screw? If its small try a T11, and if the T10 is too big try a T9. I have screws on a Delica IV that should be T6, but its too small so I use a T7. If that fails, I suggest having him send it in and maybe getting the screws replaced, if possible. Good luck.

T-8 works on my pivots i can't find my other set of torx bits with the t9 in it but t-8 will get you where you want to go. I don't know if maybe his is different but T-8 will definitly fit mine.
