thats what i ment by wire cutter, use same technique as two flat head screws, just shove the head inbewtween the two meat cleavers on the end and squeeze just enough to hold it not cut it ;P funny that your taking a day to take a screw out xD

Just drill a hole where the screw is. and BAM! the screw is gone.

FRANS!

Cut a line into it, then use a flathead screwdriver to take it out man lol......

Lol wanna come over and give me a hand bro? LOL I buy u a pack of winnies blue lolol
It sounds so easy but then again I still imagine it as so risky o_o lol

Hacksaw a slit and use a flat head screwdriver, that's why i used on rivets. Same should apply to your situation.

As what majority has said, hacksaw a line on top of the screw and use a flathead to get it out

where abouts is the screw placed?

is the screw countersunk?

Well if u look at tiksie's diy carby mod thread, its the cap which sits on top of this spring near the throttle.. I managed to get one cap off with out any trouble, but just this one. I can't hack saw it since there are no space at all -_-

If I drill the screw in the middle, what wil happen to the screw? I don't wanna make the situation worse

Take some pics tonight frans so they know exactly what's up
