Stripped Screw

[Dr. Hydro]

Any suggestions on how to get a stripped, phillips screw out of my lower unit? 
Thanks,

Charley

Hey Charley,

If you drill into the top of the phillips head with a drill that is about one sixteenth of an inch bigger than the screw size the head of the screw will eventually fall off. Take your equipment apart and there should be enough of the screw sticking out to grab with pliers to pull out. Good luck.

I'm trying to catch Uncle Jerry in posts..

Nope.. The screw is still in!! I think it will become the speed secret of 2005. I am stripping out all the screws on my Mod Tunnel lower unit right now. Saves weight!!

OK Charlie your a mod is smoking in the straights and I was having trouble with mine (dirty fuel filter) But with all classes in my opinion driving is 60% of the battle. I was very happy with the way my new B stock was running and the B mod needs a little tweeking but is real close. I'm just about ready for you guys. Greg h34r:

You got to remember this is Charley. That screw ain't never coming out unless Russ or I take it out for him. He is all thumbs when it comes to mechanical stuff. :blink: Beside he'll probably have it sold next week anyhow.
