Newbie Question

[Rober McLemore]

Jim - Still no go with the basic cleaning and gunk spraying. Tomorrow I'll gather up all my screwdrivers to ensure I don't bugger that screw. If I don't find one that fits well, I'll search around town for a better fit.

BTW - It was REAL hard trying to distinguish the difference between your pic and my Trojan. I believe that the screw you point at may be the only thing the two have in common!<g>

Thanks for the help and I'll keep you updated.

Robert: Ensure the screw slot is completely cleaned out. Do not use any kind of wedge shaped screw driver. Hollow ground bits that completely fill the slot side to side and width wise is the way to go. Here's another shot of that screw on a family VH.

I would have a file on hand to thin the blade of your screw driver. just clamp driver in vise and carfuly thin blade or narrow up blade, it only takes a few minutes.
