Tool for ST rear stays....

[SoCalSteve]

I see on the Serotta Store that they now sell a rebuild kit for the ST rear stay pivot point (similar to the DKS).

My question is: What tool is needed to take apart this weird looking screw? Can it be purchased at a hardware store? Or, can you use any old wrench tool and then just throw away the destroyed screw end and replace it with a new one one from the rebuidl kit?

How long do you think you can ride for before it needs replacing? Will there be any indication that it needs replacing?

As always, thank you in advance,

Steve

looks like a twelve point socket will work..

reciprocating saw with a fine-toothed blade?

Not the whole rear end of the bike!

Any other ideas???

Thanks,

I used a 12 point box wrench on my Ottrott after the fastener came loose. I think it was 12mm.
