Needing a tool for my Yamaha Rhino.................

[Sinkey]

Does anyone know where I can find a tool that looks like an allen wrench with a nipple in the middle of it? I think the call it a security bolt.
Home Depot and Northern Tools niether one had it, nor did Auto Zone.

It is so I can take the doors off the Rhino.

take a screwdriver or punch and put it on the nipple thats on the inside of the hex head bolt hit the screwdriver or punch with a hammer and break the safety nipple off then just remove the 2 bolts that go through the frame

I found one at my local oilfield supply shop but not everyone has one of those close by, lol. It is a rather peculiar tool that fits a 3/8" drive, just like a regular hey tool fitting. I keep mine in my glove box and if I remember right, it is not hex but more of a Star/Torque pattern with pointed corners.

Anyhow, they are like that for a reason as they don't want the doors removed. I had mine off for a while but they are back on the unit now. Once you roll it over, you too will put them back on, lol.

I have heard of the quick fix with a screwdriver/hammer, just don't bung up the inner edges of the socket.

I was able to take my doors off with channel locks . The bolts are not very tight. Or you can use a punch and nock out the little nipple out of the middle.All I did was take the two bolts on the wheel well side .

You can get them fairly cheap from Grainger if you know what size you need.
