Beaulieu pin wrench size?

Post by Tom Doolittle »

Quick question: I'm looking for the correct size pin wrench to buy to remove the two fasteners on the front of my Beaulieu 2008.

(I'd measure it myself, but I don't have the camera with me right now.)

Thanks for your help!

Use a bent out paperclip with the ends held in a plier. They aren't locked or something. Use some tape to fix them to a distance.
Kind regards,

Yes, follow Andre's advice. They are relatively easy to remove. Use some oil first to make the fasteners "feel comfortable". You don't have to buy a special tool for these.

I used a pair of pointed tweezers. But you have to be careful the can slip and scratch the head of the screw.

Thanks, all. Got it last night using a safety pin with the head cut off. Came out real easy.

Holy crap am I impressed with Beaulieus now that I've been deep inside one! Very impressive little camera.
