Title: removing stripped spacer screw Post by Robertomoe on 03/12/08 at 02:10:29 So, being the naive young fool I am, I didn't take the time to find the perfect tip for the screw above the white spacer and stripped the screw and made a nice little hole in the top of it. Is there a way to try and yank it out? Im going to look at extractors, but its a pretty small screw. Is there any way I could fit pliers down in there? |

Title: Re: removing stripped spacer screw Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/12/08 at 04:41:19 When I booger a screw I try to use a small punch to drive the metal back in place. Sometimes it works. I cant remember how hard it is to get tools to the head of that screw. Some places really make a stripped head a hassle. |

I also ruined the head of one of those small screws but was able to remove it with a small (Easy out screw extractor) and needle nose pliers. I had to drill the screw head first with the right size diameter drill bit in a longer than standard length. The drill bit and screw extractor should be available at any well equiped hardware store. You don't want to have to replace the piston assembly as they are expensive. Good Luck |

Title: Re: removing stripped spacer screw Post by JakeB on 03/12/08 at 13:20:19 You could try left handed drill bits if you have them, just go really slow and try to soak the threads in PB Blaster (or some other penetrating oil that won't hurt the diaphragm) for ten minutes or more. If you don't have any left handed drill bits then I know Harbor Freight has set for cheap and any machine supply store will have them, a good local hardware store will also have them, but I doubt that Lowes or Home Depot have any. Anyway, buy a couple because it's likely they will break, and it sucks going back out again when they do. ;D JakeB |
