missing truss rod wrench? what to replace with

[drewphishes]

Hi,
I am missing the truss rod wrench with my new alembic. 
Got it used.

is it just a normal 1/4" wrench?

[David Houck]

Yes; 1/4"

Get any 1/4" combination wrench (open one end, closed on the other).  Some axes you have enough room to use a closed end, others it's a bit tighter and you need the open end.  12-point if you can.

Hey guys, I'm in Europe so it's hard to find the missing wrench in inches, can you explain exactly what kind of wrench it is? I see that it's need to be hexagon? Trying to find it on ebay but it hard because don't know what to write... thanks in advance.

thanks

Hi Goran, here's the wrench as shown in the Alembic store http://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/trussrodwrench.html



Don't use wrenches in millimeter sizes, as you will probably damage the nut.

Thanks, that's for all Alembics? because I have 1980 and don't know if they changed something since then?

I don't think it changed. If you google the name for the tool in your own language, with the size, like steeksleutel 1/4" for Dutch, it should find local webshops that sell them.
