Removing Ford bed pucks, tool?

[Troller4rbb]

What tool is needed to remove the puck in a 2015 F250. It looks like an Allen but 6mm is too small & 8 is too big. I don't have a 7 or 6.5. All the videos I've seen it's just a plastic/rubber piece. I'll gladly go buy something if someone will verify it is metric or do I need imperial (English).

Looks like a spray-on bedliner has gummed it up a bit, which makes it hard to see detail and might affect the wrench fit. Could it be a double-square instead of Allen? Or Torx? Either of those looks a lot like an Allen.

If you think it is a 7 mm Allen, the common 1/4" SAE size should fit it close enough. Or maybe 9/32" if you have it.

If it's the blank over the puck hole, it should just flip out like a grommet.

That looks like a bed bolt, not a puck cover.

Could well be, well spotted.

You win the prize. Being green I thought those were puck covers. No wonder all the videos made it look so easy. We've been pulling a TT for 5 yrs. Finally decided to move up to a 5er. I assumed those were pucks. Assumed. Let's not say anymore about this.

On a side note, I just had Rhino Lining sprayed in and now I can't get my puck trim/covers back in.

I would take it back to the Rhino people and see if they can help you.

They should have masked the edges of the holes before spraying. Same with the bed bolts, they should have been removed first.

Yes, I'll be talking to them this week but from what I've read in some RAM forums, I'll have to carefully trim the plastic inserts to make them fit.
