I'd like to change around the copedent on my Excel D-10, but what I want to do would require detaching and reattaching some pull rods from the bellcranks. It's attached with a set screw of some kind, but I don't have a tool to loosen them. The screw is hollow, and it looks like the inside is threaded, so an allen wrench wouldn't work.
What kind of tool would be able to do this? And what size?
Thanks a lot.

| That's the first thing I did when I got my Excel - I took it completely apart and reassembled it to my specs. Took me all day. The correct allen wrench comes with the guitar. I don't know what size it is exactly but it's something every steel player has in his toolkit.It's a standard allen set screw - nothing out of the ordinary. |

Isn't it a metric size? |

That's weird...the ones on mine seem to be threaded on the inside....I've got the allen wrench, and it fits in everything on the guitar except those set screws...

I rebuilt an Excel a while ago and I don't recall anything unusual about the bellcrank screws other than they required a metric allen wrench.
