Welcome to the forum. I'm sure someone with the same unit will help with your inquiries.

 

I didn't try DW40 yet, and I only used a manual screwdriver, not an electric one.

What would you do?, keep trying risking to never being able to unscrew it again?, or any other method?.

Thanks!.

skip the WD...
add heat (hair dryer/heat gun)...use and impact to tighten a fuzz...
reverse impact and remove the screws...

 

You mean an impact driver?, do they work better than doing manually?.

 

yes..

 

do you have one???

 

Yes he means impact driver, the hammers inside the driver will loosen the screws up, they do make a hand held driver that you hit with a hammer but don't recommend it for what you are trying to do.

 

The main thing is make sure the screwdriver or bit is an exact fit to the slots in the screws. Usually bits fit better than a lot of hand held screwdrivers. I would try to find a screwdriver that uses interchangeable bits. They work much better.

What they said! They make manual ones as well. I use mine on larger screws than what you're faced with. Not sure how gentle it'd be with the smaller fasteners...

Obviously this isn't going to help you in Argentina, but they are available.

 

Yeah here in Argentina we got serious problems to import products, sucks.

I'll give it a try with the Dewalt one, and comment what happened!.

Thanks.

 

I have had good luck using a soldering iron to apply heat directly to the screw without heating up the area around it.
After getting it hot, the impact driver suggestions are spot on, I am constantly amazed how well they work to loosen things up and how easily they break off screws when tightening them! I own two, one large and one small and they are great other than when the grandkids are over and trying to take a nap - they make bodacious noise.

 

Your going to need to replace the screws once you get them out. They are probably burred up and might leave a scratch line.

 

If you don't have an impact driver one manual way has worked for me. Get a screwdriver the fits the screw well and clamp a medium size vice grip pliers to the shaft of the screwdriver push down hard on the screw driver and twist the vice grip pliers in counter clockwise motion. Works for me

 

make sure bit and screw fit like a #1 or #2 i doubt it is any bigger their is a
#3 ,i guess you are turnning the right way ? counter clock wise

 

Yes, counter clock, but I think the problem is that the bit is not a perfect fit. Well, I will buy one of those impact drivers with the box with all of the different bits, and I will see whats the best match.

 

if you have a drill with the setting's on the dial so that it slip's after it get's so tight? may set it so that it just slip's in the reverse and see if that much slippage will break screw's loose , if not impact driver next , was that a new unit ? some one put Liquid Wrench on the screw's and than returned it for some reason ? good luck

 

or cross threaded it...

 

When I have a problem unscrewing a fastener I just call my son, the landscaper. No problem.:laugh:

 

All good guys!, the new impact driver I bought solved the problem instantly.

I never used one, they are so loud... damn.

Problem solved!. Thanks all.

 

Good to hear. I've been using one since the 80's , as dirt bikes have some nasty Philips screws to loosen on the engine back then .
Don't recall the loud part though?

 

ARTEMIX: The DCF886 is an awesome tool and it is so versatile, when you get it and use it, you will honestly wonder how you got along without it! The only thing you don't use it for it drilling and tapping, as it will shatter the bit or tap. However...you can drive 5/16" lag screws and nut/bolts without the normal back-up wrench and many, many other things. I have driven a Torx 4" screw thru 4 inches of White OAK! (Went just a little too far and broke the drive bit)
AS strong as this tool is, you must make sure the bit fits EXACTLY to the screw as Dick told you above...AND put maximum pressure on the bit and tool So it does not slip or you will find a nice clean "basin" and then a real problem! Like Stick said...tighten it ever so slightly and then back it right on out! GOOD LUCK!

 

Mine Was All Blue

Brings back memories of trying to loosen Philips screws on my old Honda(s), back in the '60's. They were a p.i.t.a. to service. That's when I began my hate-on for Philips!

Mine was in considerably better shape when I sold it to a buddy (who wrapped it around a telephone pole )...

Boy, how easy to hijack a thread. LOL

 

Dan I think I inherited that same bike from my father back in 75. It really didn't work that well trail riding lol . Those CZ bikes kept kicking my butt

Dan if memory serves me right , were the engines around 90cc ?
