I was trying to take off some screws and accidentally stripped the heads, they are very tight and I can't get tem out. Dose aney1 no any tricks?

 

Use an e z out.

 

Sometimes you can cut a slot in the head with a dremmel or small file and use a strait blade driver

 

Depends on the head....is it philips? If so try putting the screw driver in the slot, and smack the end of the screw driver, with a hammer, like you would a nail. This helps to seat the philips in the screw, and loosens the threads, and tiny bit. If its too far gone for that, then use a chisel, and hammer, to spin it out. Either way itll be tossed when youre done. Use anti sieze, on the next screw, and itll be much easier to remove next time.

 

If there is enough room, you can use a pair of sidecutters straight on to the head of the screw. Squeeze'm hard and turn.

 

Sears, go and buy one of those screw extractors, very very handy and worth it.

 

I recommend the slotting method and using a flat screwdriver as already recommended. Also, a pair of small, needle-nose vise grips work very well too.

Let me guess...bowl screws on the carb.? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

those dang bowl screws had me throwin fits this winter, all 4 stripped out and it took me an extra 2 hours to rejet

 

vise grips and then throw em away and get you sopme allen head bolts thats the first thing i do with both my quads is replace the bowl screws with somthing more reliable like allen head bolts.
