Viking weight bolt

[Puguglies1]

I have an older Viking cue from around 2006. I'm trying to remove the weight bolt but can't reach the freaking thing. I have a set of hex keys but they're not long enough.

So before I order a super long one, I just want to make sure of the right size.

Can anyone confirm it's a 6mm hex bolt?


Update: I called Viking and their bolt is 1/4 hex and it needs a minimum 9 inch arm.

Hi Pug:
I've never seen metric in Vikings but I have seen 3/8x16 and 1/2x13 set screws.

Okay, thanks!

Not sure if this ever worked out for you, but the Viking Interchangeable Weights are 1/4" hex. 6mm is close at .236 (vs .25) and would work, but if the weight that is in it came from the factory, it is 1/4".
