On my blazer, the bolts that hold the top on have a VERY strange shape to me. They are actually fairly rounded, but in the middle have a star shaped design with a small circular post coming out of the middle. Every other blazer I have ever seen has the hex shaped bolts. Anyone know where I can find a bit that would fit in it to remove these bolts when the time comes to take the top off??? I guess if worse comes to worse, I could drop by the stealership and see what they say...

 

[Josh]

from what i have heard there is a special key to remove those tops. ask texK5(when he reregisters) he has become an expert on K5s lately

I read somewhere that 89-91s need a special key to go topless :boobs:

 

[SierraRollinDubz]

Yeah, take that trip to the stealership. Who knows you actually might get the key for free........But probably not :whyme:

 

[99redsilv]

most auto places should have bits to fit in those.. we have some here at work, the screws are pretty common on big rigs

 

[Nicholas]

Yeah, I really didn't know if it was something that most auto parts stores would have or if it was a GM thing. I had just never seen it before, and don't doubt that it is an 89-91 thing. I know my buddy with an 88 has the hex bolts. Ill have to check Advanced today to see if they got it.

 

[97Silverado]

Yeah, you should be able to find the bits most anywhere. They are called security Torx or something along those lines.

Now that I think about it, my '90 K5 Jimmy had hex bolts.

Anyone put urnial seperators up that would like to give me the key to these???

 

[MrFleming007]

When I had my Blazer, I picked up the special key from Napa. Came in a set of ten for about 4 bucks. Still didn't like the bolts though, so I picked up a full set of new bolts so I could just use a ratchet.

 

[Nicholas]

Alrighty, cool. That doesn't sound too bad, the set of 10 for $4. Even I can afford that. But I agree, after this summer, ill probably pick up a set of the regular bolts. As of right now, I'm not a big fan of these kind.

 

[Rednecked_4x4]

you cant pull that top off right now! its stil winter!

I know I can't really ride around with it off...but I might start sandin it smooth soon...and it would be easier to do it if I took it off...and I wanna be prepared for when it starts to get a warm again.

 

[Rednecked_4x4]

Well i was kinda being sarcastic, how cold can it be in Georgia?
As soon as it gets 50 degree's or so here, im going topless. :boobs:

 

[Nicholas]

Well, it is pretty cold here (to me aleast). Its been gettin into the 20s most nights and its been about 40 during the day some days...so its been pretty chilly. I can't wait till the first warm day tho...topless riding gonna be fun.
