Re: Loosening tight screws


 

Hi this post reminded me that I needed some jis drivers, as I work on radios,
Also have yaesu/ICOM /and Kenwood radios, when I worked on my ICOM ic-7000 I fitted new screws as they are very week, and did not use jis screwdriver ?,
I got them delivered from Amazon today, just over a ?10 for a 4pc set of drivers,

Hi Rich,

Another trick (other than using the correct JIS driver of course) is to give the screw a slight nip in the clockwise (tightening) direction prior to trying to extract it.

?

I finally decided to attach the side rails that came with my Portable Zero Pack to my 817nd.? The two screws on either side are so tight I can only barely loosen one of them.? The other three are way to tight and I don't want to damage the Phillips head screw.? Does anyone know of a method of loosening screws that are so tight?? Appreciate any and all advice.
