Simoniz 2000psi pressure washer.

[Flight]

Hopefully in proper section.

I have a simoniz 2000psi electric pressure washer that's not working properly. It turns on and runs but no water comes out of nozel. So I took cover off to see inside. I took some screws out that are on the high pressure side, no water there. So I know it's a blockage between the inlet and pistons. So I need to take pump and motor out of unit so I can work on it.

So I was able to take out 2 of the screws from back, but there is this screw/bolt/nut? that I have never seen before that's preventing motor from coming out. have any one of you seen it before and if so what tool do I need? it's the gold looking thing in hole at bottom. about 3 inches in

Never heard of it Flight, but I'll bump it up for you.

It looks like a security torx screw, but it's hard to tell from the picture.
If there is a small pin sticking up in the middle of the screw it's a security screw and you will need to buy the security screw driver.

it does look like a pin sticking up through center. I'll have to look into security screwdriver. thanks

In the past I have been able to break off the nipple in the middle of these security screws and use a regular torx screw driver.
