Replacing The Rotor Arm.. Help Needed Asap !

[Jimlad]

One of the screws holding the rotor arm in place wouldn't come off. It's done that thing where the screw driver just spins around. It isn't totally buggered yet, but I just can't get it to budge at all. The screw driver just slips. It doesn't help that you can't see the screw either.

Was looking at taking the whole rotor arm area off... but after closer inspection it looks a little impossible.

Anyone got any ideas ? I'm charging my drill up, ready to drill the bugger out. Don't even know if I can actually get my drill into that little area. Or if I can drill it out without any damage to anythng else.

Someone else must have come across this issue before ??

Please help ?!!?!?

thanks.

Don't take it off!!!!!!!!! :censor:

You will lose the timing.

if the cap is old and being replaced take your time and break it up with mole graps

[Jimlad]

If you start at the bottom of the cap nothing should fall into the unit.

[Jimlad]

PS : changed me phone number.

need to find another screw now tho as that one is buggered.

[Jimlad]
