[Closed] Formula Oro K18 - Lever blade removal

Just a quick one. I discover to my joy that Formula have chosen to secure the Oro lever blade to the pivot pin using a teeny tiny little torx screw rather than an allen screw - no doubt to stop the great unwashed from releasing it.

Anyway, this great unwashed wonders whether anyone [a] knows what size torx screw it is and [b] a good place to get a correct size torx driver?

Many thanks

Chris

It will happily release itself! As I found out half way round Glentress.

I found it to be a 2mm allen key iirc. I've since put a dab of thread lock on them.

Cheers

possibly a T10? any good tool shop? get a set of torx jobbies, they're becoming a lot more common.

Tooled-up.com do a Draper set of very small Tx keys, part no 50580 for about £12.

Did you find out what size torx bit it is? Ive got the same problem and need to know what size the grub screw is before i go and buy a tool.

A bit late now, but apparently there was a service bulletin issued about putting a dab of loctite on some of those.
