Damn, likely tightened 30 years ago!
Impact driver? big ass screw driver? This old motor is too greasy to risk heat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) i don't want to leave 1/2 in the case. Suggestions? |

Just make sure the tip is the correct size for the slot in the screw.
The only screwdriver that I could find with a tip that was the right size was the largest one that my local Sears stocked. It's a really big mother... Not easy to use in the 914's engine bay, but not so bad when the engine is out. I replaced all the engine tin screws that I could with Allen-head screws. Much easier to install and remove!! --DD |
