What size driver is required for the Designer lug to shell retaining screws?

Unfortunately, I do not.

When I do the routine maintenance, I just grab the 1/4" ratchet and the whole set of torx bits.

One of them works. ;)

I can't tell you which one without pulling a head off,which it sounds like you are going to do anyway.

Yes, anyway, but I wasn't planning to go to Sears with the shell to find out!

I dug out the driver I use, but it's unlabeled for size. :x
I do believe it's a T20 or T25. Wish I could be more specific. I bought the pair of drivers I have years ago for something like $6 new at a big box hardware store.
You may be able to do as I did and back a screw out with a small flat head screwdriver and take that to the store for sizing.

Thanks, Chris. I suppose I could break the bank and haul one of these home...

I think its a t25, I just tried a t27 and it was just too big, all my other torx bits are at work. Just for your info the only thing I have ever used a 27 for was to adjust the legs on a miele dishwasher, I will probably only ever use it for that purpose, but the screwdriver was only 5 bucks.
Get crazy and get one of these

you think Sonor drums get expensive, try this stuff for woodworking. Worth every penny though

Good idea!

The next time we get there, you'll be sitting in the middle of the parking lot with everything you own disassembled and sorted into two piles:

• Magnetic
• Non-magnetic

:shock: :lol:
