Post by: His Dudeness on 09 May 2012, 05:35:50 pm: had this happen once and i drilled just the head off the screw and took the cover off. then the shaft of the screw just turned out by hand with the head gone

Post by: limax2 on 09 May 2012, 10:20:31 pm: :agree Done the same. Not difficult as the depression left in the head centres the drill. Obviously stop drilling as soon as the head breaks loose.

Post by: Robfzs on 16 May 2012, 10:26:33 am: great..

drill the head off one and it winds out easily enough

drill the head off the other and it snaps flush :'(

any ideas? how to get it out?

thanks

Post by: His Dudeness on 16 May 2012, 11:24:02 am: sometimes if you get a flat head screw driver thats smaller than the shaft of the screw and press down on hard on the screw you can turn it out. if that doesnt work then you might have to use something like an easy out.

Post by: Robfzs on 16 May 2012, 11:45:50 am: the screw just doesn't wanna budge and tried drilling it out but seems it wants to go in to the ali instead of taking the bolt out

anyone got a spare working mc?

Thanks. :)
