|
|
What is the size of the allen key for removing lenses from marquee 9500 L/C. GT 17 Lenses build date 1997
5/32 does not fit. 3mm, 4mm, don't fit. It seems to be 3.5mm I can not find one to fit the 1/4 inch driver in this size. I went to Sears, Lowes and home depot.

Sounds like you need a 9/64" or smaller, 1/8"

it's 9/64ths . Be careful with the 8 screws. 4 remove the lens, the other 4 will dump Glycol in yor machine.

Dump glycol into the machine? You say that in passing as if it will be obvious which one will and which ones won't.  Seriously though how can I tell which ones are the right ones to NOT dump the glycol?
Thank you again Draganm

Hello
Look closely at the lens mounting flange. The screws you CAN remove are NOT recessed. They are at 2, 4, 8 and 10 o'clock.

I almost did the same thing. WHEW! When I noticed 4 didn't matter as far as getting the lenses off I was like WHOA!
