 PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized Can't check lower unit lube. PD allen screws are seized. I have not stripped the out yet, but I'm afraid to put too much tourqe on them.
Any ideas?

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized First make sure the allen wrench you are attempting with is in good condition, if so you may want to get a "helical" set-screw extractor that fits the 1/4" hex well, it'll get it out.

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized DO THIS AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO DRILL IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. GET THE RIGHT SIZE ALLEN WRENCH.
2 GET A HAMMER.
3 PUT THE ALLEN WRENCH IN AND HIT THE WRENCH WITH THE HAMMER TO BREAK THE RUST FREE FROM THE THREADS. THEN USE A CRESCENT WRENCH (ADJUSTABLE WRENCH) TO TURN THE ALLEN WRENCH.. GET AS CLOSE TO THE END AS POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU DON'T FLEX THE ALLEN WRENCH...THIS SHOULD GET THEM OUT.....

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized Some time a meteric one will fit better than a standard. make sure that the wrench is all the way seated in the back of the plugs socket. Also before you hit the end of the allen wrench with a hammer take the slack out of it by holding a little tention with your thumb on the allen wrench in the direction your going to be hitting it (counter clock wise) this will give you a solid strike and lesson the chances of it stripping.

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized OH and after you get it out put a lil' permatex #2 on the threads..It will keep it from leaking and it will be easy to take them out next time..

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized Thanks guys. I tapped the allen screws with a hammer and they came right out with no problem. Replaced them with stainless and applied Permatex #2, so next time it should not be a problem. What a great place for information. Keep up the good work MMT.

Re: PD Allen Screws Rusted and Seized stainless aint the best idea for that.. coons right about stainless and alum. if forkn mixes like oil n milk... stainless is a really gummy metal and threads get ate up easy due to a lack of carbon .... stick wit stock screws n keep em lubed
