Hello,

we have a problem. We are currently trying to dismantle our Pax. It was professionally assembled by Ikea installers two years ago.

Or maybe not so professional?

Because the different carcass parts (2 x 1m 1 x 0.5 m) are riveted together with screws that we cannot turn. They are not the screws that should be there according to the assembly instructions...

They are neither "normal" slotted screws nor Allen screws; all Allen screwdrivers just slip in them.

Could it be that the installers riveted something or something like that?

And how do we get these things off? Do we have to drill them out? Saw them off?

Confused regards,

msuchel

Are they perhaps TORX screws? They are not so rare nowadays. It is worth getting a bit set for them.

Hello IKEA expert,

thank you very much for the quick response. That could indeed be the case, I looked it up via Google image search,
and they look quite similar.

I would just like to be sure before we purchase such a bit set.

I have uploaded a picture of the screw in my photo gallery - maybe you would like to take a look?

Best regards, muschel

I unfortunately cannot see it in the picture. I only see a "silver spot".
