 Stripped screw on GT lower unit
I got in a hurry the other day and stripped out the head of the little stainless screw that is on the end of the LU that you take out when greasing. Does anybody know a trick to get that little bastard out?

 Re: Stripped screw on GT lower unit
Use a cut off wheel on a side grinder a cut a groove in it and use a flat head screw driver. Or try a good sharp chisel a drive it around.

 Re: Stripped screw on GT lower unit
Okay thanks guys. Do I need to get a new one from GT or can I just take to to the hardware store and match it up?
