I don't seem to have a proper wrench that's thin enough to remove the castor wheels. I'm getting ready try and finally mount my smoker to my harbor freight cart but I think I need a special wrench to remove the wheels. Any advice from those of you out there for removing the wheels (i.e. wrench size? is it a special wrench?). I understand the bolts for table mount should be M10 - 150. I guess I'll run to the HW store quick and see what they have available.

After searching for hours, going to the hardware store, and trying with a screwdriver it finally dawned on me I had a kitchen drawer that was full of old misc stuff. I searched the drawer and finally found the TOOL! Word of caution for everyone out there, don't loose the tool!

My tool bent so bad that I tossed it. I'd like to get another though. Do they sell them on the website?
This should do the trick if it is the correct size:

Since I found the original tool I figured I would take some measurements of it and post here (with pics):
[list type=decimal]
[*]It's about 5" long or 124.7mm.
[*]The wrench opening for the castors is 0.569" or 14.46mm
[*]The thickness of the tool is 0.089" or 2.26mm
[/list]
