CrashBangWallop Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Good afternoon people, I was about remove the wheels on my Westie to get to the brakes but, the centre hub with the Westfield logo has a weird star-shaped key, similar to an inverted allen key. I can't get the wheels off without first removing the hub. Is this a standard Allen-key type bought from any bog-standard hardware store? I didn't know who to ask first; the forum or Westfield. I could pop out today if I knew what I was looking for. Thanks for any quick reply (or, indeed, a long one if you feel it necessary) Thanks, Neil.

adhawkins Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Mine is definately an allen key. I bought a set from Halfrauds for about 7 quid I think. Not sure what you mean by 'inverted' though? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sounds like a Torx fitting to me. Halfrauds will have Torx drivers......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashBangWallop Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 It's a six-pointed star rather than a six sided hexagon. Not that you can get an eight-sided hexagon, obviously I'll try Halfrauds after work. Cheers, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
