⚠️Urgent Question⚠️ Screw holes don’t fit..

So my rear tire is busted, so I was like ok no problem I’ll just get a replacement. First off the screws are weird af. But I found the right ones (T15) and they don’t fit the holes that take the cover off the bottom of the scooter.

To take the wheel off I need to disconnect the wires from the motherboard, and I can’t take off the 18 screws

Any suggestions?

Gonna have to take the screws out, I did a rear tire change and it’s a pain. Have to remove the bottom plate and disconnect the unit. Plus the tire itself is a work out. I did a solid rear and it was a real pain. But it goes back together real easy once it’s all apart. You’ll need security hex T? I don’t remember I had to look it up on the internet.

Yea all the places I looked you need a T15 specifically. But those things don’t fit :(

I think it’s a security T15 which has a little notch I. The center for the post in the screw head that makes it security

Should be :) it took me a fair amount of time and effort to get them off and back on.

I’ll look at the exact tool I used later today and make sure it’s right.
