Allen Key size for weights? 2008 M8 SnoPro

[CuzzinOlaf]

I snapped the allen key when I last changed my weights. I need to pick one up on the way home tonight and would hate to have to run back out. Anyone know the correct size for taking out the allen bolt? Thanks.

Make sure you put some heat to them, they will pop loose alot easier, I just point the flame of my propane torch at them while I had the wrench in the set screw and applied some pressure. It only takes a second of heat and they come right out. I twisted the cr@p out of my wrench the first time.The heat makes all the difference.

I did use heat LOL. I just only had red loctite when I changed the weights the time before and didn't heat them enough.

Oh ya red loctite takes a little more heat than the factory stuff.

5/64 is what I have been using and it's nice and tight in the set screw. Maybe 2mm fits, but the 5/64 fits with no slop.

I didn't think it was metric and was really confused. 5/64 sounds right, too.

5/64 is what I have been using for 3 years no problems, just don't be afraid to use the heat on them if they are stuck.

Cuz - My allen key is in my M that's sitting at Darrell's. If you need to use it Saturday morning, call Rick or stop by the house.
