Can someone tell me what kind of tool it takes to change the counterweight on the PC 7424. It looks like the screws are a star type that I don`t have. I assume that to use the 6 inch pads from CMA I need to go to the 6" counterweight because it now has the 5". Also where do you buy such a wrench? Appreciate anyone`s info! :wait

I'm pretty sure I have read that it is a "Torx" screw. Usually a T15, but might be a T20.
My 7336 came with the 6" CW, so I never paid any attention to how it was mounted.
You can probably get the tool at an auto supply store. Torx screws are used quite a bit. A well stocked hardware store would probably have them, as well.

Yep. Torx screw. Any good auto supply store will have it.
Adding 6" CW:
Not sure if this was true of everyone but when I took off the 5" of the 7424 it had a small slot that went over a small rubber piece on the PC, but the 6" did not, so when trying to put on the 6" it looked like it didn't fit. Called PC, zero help, but called the place I purchased, said "ya, just screw it on". So, I added a couple of rubber washers and fit fine.
Torx bits also come in a lot of the drill/screwdriver bit sets, they usually give you 5 or 6, the PC size is usually in the set.

I got a torx (T20) at the local Ace Hardware. It looks just like a screwdriver with a torx end. I noticed the small rubber piece that is ok for the 5" CW but the 6" is different. I figured that it would not affect balance if it was on tight. So it seems to work fine but it looks like it is going to take a little working at the ultimate shine! I really appreciate everyone`s help and think this forum is incredible!
