I rebuilt my 1.7 MPS a while back and am now looking to calibrate it. I followed pbanders' screw removal advice religiously and simply cannot get the screw out. I got it to break loose and now turns 90 degrees but farther than that - no way! All epoxy is gone and I have used a lot of heat, penetrating oil and patience. Even bought a 5/8" wide drag link bit that fit the slot perfectly, but even with a 1/2" drive breaker bar it won't budge. Got so frustrated I even tried my impact screwdriver and a hammer.
I'd hoped to get this done without taking the MSP apart again, but it seems that drilling it out may be the best last resort. I have the replacement screw from the TR tuning kit but am afraid the fine threads in the hole will be easy to mess up if I try to cut the old one out. Would appreciate any ideas or techniques that have worked for others. Thanks, Ron |
