try using the same (approx) sized star type bit, it should just pick up the corners of the old hex shape, you might have to give it a bit of gentle persuasion to get it in but this has worked for me before.

this was exactly what i was going to say!! . . . ..if you can get one slightly bigger, thats a tight fit and tap it in with a hammer thats even better!!!

make sure u turn the ratchet or screwdriver dead sraight . . .this is important so u dont twist the bit out
( in that i mean if your using a driver make sure its pointing straight down . . and if its a ratchet it must be at a 90 degree angle!!!!!!!!!)<<< this is really IMPORTANT

plenty of downward force and turn slowly

. . .remember slowly . . ..slowly catches monkey . . . .or sum s**t like that!!!


*** sorry thought u were trying to get them out!! still applys to getting them in . . . . . .but you should really take them out and replace them. . . .if there bad now and you tighten them up ur probably gonna make them worse and u'lll never get them out!!!!!

It's HPPA like Spangley wrote send to Ash, you don't want to tamper with HPPA unless you know what you are doing, and no offense by asking for advice on this it shows you need to send to Dye. Atleast you know it is all the approved parts by the approved techs working on it.

i know what to do all it is two little grub screws who any one can tigten loosen to change replace the threads but after shooting it for a while they have came loose and the previous owner has rounded them off will most probs send it to dye anyway just need to know the turn around time.

if you have trouble getting the grub screws there's a great place by the flyover called CG Rees.
