Need a tool to open a Shimano reel.

Featured Replies

I'm trying to add grease to my reel but I obviously don't don't have the correct tool.  I tried two different sets of alen wrenches with no luck.  It's a shimano Stradic C14+ C3000HG-B.  Looks like so..

Any ideas on what to use?

Tried those too.  Had them in a box set of tools.  Though I don't know if I had as many in my set as you see there.

 

If I can chime in. 
 You’re looking for Torx bits. If you live near a Harbor Freight. They have bit sets with the driver for under 10. That should get you by.

Looking at the pic, the torx screw head in the reel looks compromised. Could be the pic making it look that way.

I think it's just because I'm zoomed in so close. 

 

Ty guys for the help!

OOOOOHHHHH…I see what you mean. I was going to volunteer to come do it for you, but you needed an “actual” tool, not me, correct?

Try T8 torx.
