Allen wrench for ff

[Thrasher]

anyone know the Allen wrench size for the Blancpain FF No Radiations, I'm sure its the same as the regular FF

I've been trying for the last twenty minutes with a torx t3 and t4 but only have one of each , you really need both t3s,, doing it on my no radiations and I have come to HATE this process.. Terrible . Or I'm just venting cause I got the tools. Did manage to get one off so far clean and clear. Cannot get he other one off.

See that's what I don't get mine are for sure Allen head while you regular FF guys are Torxs? anyway I think one of the guys said get some 22mm fat rolex style spring bars from cousins UK and forget this nonsense.

The smallest size Allen key I own is 1.5 and it's slightly smaller than that . FYI mine is the noob version with the Allen head screws .

I have the regular ff and the screws do look like they need Allen keys. However, the Wiha T3 works on mine. You might want to give these a shot and then on re-install, use some low strength permatex on the screws.

for any of you guys that have the U-Boat Chimera, this driver works on its lug screws as well (at least on one they worked with very slow turns).

If any of the screws is off from one side, the lugbar can just be pushed out. Assuming You have one lugbar out and it´s the other one that won´t budge.
When I was going to order the T3 drivers was lucky and the supermarket had a promotion on a kit like these (offers options

Well I have some Whitworth tools! but no more old Brit cars, My smallest torx is T10 and smallest allen is 1.5.. Well I have one smaller but its to big. Probably just order two T-3s and maybe a couple 1.0 allens

Ordered two T-3s and done with it!

I filed a 1.5mm Allen Key down at both ends to fit the hex-screws and the cut it in half. Took about 15 minutes and now changing the strap is easy. Don't forget to put the bars back together with some Loctite 222 or else you'll be looking for new ones!

I managed to find a metric Allen key off one of the lads at work , it's smaller than a 1.5 so hopefully it will fit. I've noticed one of the screws are protruding out from the lug hole. It needs sorting before it works completely loose.

If this doesn't fit I will probably try filing a 1.5 down as mentioned above

For my rose gold BPFF, it had 4 T3 heads. For my current BPFF, it has 3 T4 heads and 1 T3 head. In theory, you would possibly need both T3 and T4. If you have a Micro-Center nearby, they have a set of small sized Torx screwdriver heads, you can buy 2 sets for about $14.
