k you actually took a sledge hammer to it! and now you bent the bar. are you taking the throttle off to fix or to trash. when put a new throttle on mine i just hit it on the side and broke it off. i had stripped screws to.

I sure as hell hope your joking, if not then ummm.....your dad is going to kill you and for a good reason...lol.


Anyway, to remove that stripped screw you can drill it out. The best way to get it out would be to take a dremel and make new grooves for the screw driver, make them deep so it can bite down. Or take a screwdriver and pound it into the screw until its deep enough. There are tons of ways to remove it. Be creative.

1st -- Get the proper size screwdriver, this is very important, the most important step. If you don't have the proper size stop and get one

2nd -- Push as hard as you possibly can on the screwdriver and turn, make sure you turn the correct way. Righty tighty, lefty loosy

3rd -- Do not get mad, if you don't get it out let someone else try it or talk to your dad and get him to do it.
