Now obviously this is what you should do - but it does mean that the screw will grip the carbon very tightly - which is why you struggle to get them out!!
Thanks matt
Would that not happen on the screws into plastic also though ? There was no problem at all there - but maybe those parts are just not quite as tightly installed? I tightened all the parts the same, but most of the ones into alloy were quite hard (or virtually impossible) to remove
