Anybody know what size spanner bit I need to get the screws off? I have both #4 and #6; both are too big.

Thank you!
 
Based on something I read, I would have said 4; but you said that's too big.
(Check again)
I'll look for mine, and see if they're marked.

Edited to add: I just rechecked that source, and it did say #4...but, in the specs, it said "compatible with #6 spanner bit". So screw them (ha) - back to looking for my bits.

Bradford uses Spanner#4 bits up to Guardian 3.5 and #6 spanner in G4 and up. Do yourself a favor and get some wiha spanner bits...
 
Thank you, fellas.

Apparently, I wasn’t aware that there were both slotted and round spanner bits. Once I got the right bits, I still had problems as they simply wouldn’t turn. Even with heat.

I emailed Bradford asking if there was a trick. I got a response back from Brad Larkin directly apologizing for the inconvenience, he asked me to mail it in, he’ll remove the screws. Really amazing customer service!
