rounded screws?
Howdy,
I've got 2 2mm countersunk screws on the topdeck of the oOple D4 lodged in to the motor mount.. and they dont want to budge. Ive bought a brand new driver for them to reduce the risk of rounding, alas it didnt work. They are threadlocked in to place and i've no idea how to remove them with minimal damage. Theres enough head on the screw for a few more tries.. and i'm reluctant to go at it with a cutting disk as itl cut in to the nice carbon fibre top deck. ideas??

If you take all the other screws out, then drill the head off the rounded one. When you take the topdeck off, would this leave enough thread to grab with a small mole grips?? Just a thought

Try heating the screws with a soldering iron to soften the threadlock. Might work. Never worked for me.
You can even try soldering the allen key into the head of the screw. Never come close to working for me. Only way I have ever got them out is with the cutting disk on the dremel to make a slot and a flat head screwdriver to take them out.

Other way if you have to use a cutting disk is to wear down the disk until its as small as you can get away with and you should be able to cut a slot into the screw without damaging the chassis, maybe :P
