Sometimes it takes an impactdriver. I will also use a large screwdriver with a square shaft and turn it with a wrench. The secret is keeping the screwdriver seated.

Try somekind of a penatrating lube. You can also try using heat like from a mini propane torch. You will be surprised how heat can actually help.

Use heat. I also use an old screwdriver that has a square shaft that I can put an 8mm wrench on. I also have filed the tip to perfectly match the cheesehead screws. I've removed 4 sets of tins that way.

just went through the same thing and it was a pain; I shot some PB on and let it soak; applied a little heat and they came off no problems. As Joe said, make sure you keep the head of your driver seated flat; if it rocks around to much the screws come apart. good luck m. |

One tap of the hammer on the driver and the screw is turning out. From there it comes right out with a standard screw driver. |

Let's see now. You have a 914 and you have a screw loose...
Seems redundant to me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) |

I found that the biggest screwdriver that Sears sells was the only thing that actually fit the engine tin screws. Using the correct-sized screwdriver helped a lot, as did spraying them with penetrating oil.
Access for a screwdriver that large is just about nonexistent for some of the screws, sad to say. I had the engine out when I was removing them. --DD |
