iMac G4 neck opening tool

Hi guys,

I am looking for a tool (or the best work-around) for opening the screws of the iMac G4 silver neck. I have opened it before with screwdrivers and bits, but it was a real pain and I would love a solid tool for doing it again.

Thank you,

Lucas

In that case you'll need to make a custom tool. A piece of brass rod should do it drill the three holes into the brass rod (handle) and using some steel pins of the correct diameter press fitted should do the trick.
