Lamonster gas cap help

[AY4B]

Got my cap today but it did not have the special tools to install it without taking the Spyder apart. Anyone have that special wrench to reach the nut under the top cover? Can you tell me what size opening or nut it is so I can fab my own? The little wire for fishing the ground wire should not be hard to figure out. Thanks in advance.

8mm nut.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I may be able to tape a 8MM open end wrench to a piece of scrap metal and get that bend to do the same thing. All it does is hold the nut from turning so you can turn the bolt out from the top.

I emailed and they told me the tool should have been in the box. Well it was, kind of nestled down in the bottom of the box.

I took the box apart very carefully and no tools. The candy was delicious though.

I love it when I can solve things like this with things laying around the shop. Didn't have to make a call and wait for tools to be shipped.

Speaking of special tools, where do you get those special torx wrenches with the hole in the middle for those pins that keep the body parts on? What do they call them, anyway? I am a new owner and never had a use for that type of tool before. Thanks.

Those screws are not to be removed. The only hold on the push pins so there is no reason to remove them. The side panels that they are attached to you just pull on the panel( after removing the other screws) to pull the panel off.

I have a set of those Torx with the hole in the middle. bought them at Lowes where they sell both kinds.

They are called "Security Torx".
