I used a flathead screwdriver.

 

how did you manage it with a flathead?

 

Exactly....this is the ticket.

 

Yep, exactly how I did it.

 

you do know if you look from the top of the plentum there is a hole there so you can reach strait down to that screw. its hidden by the shae of the pletum. I had to search all over the web to find it but its there.

 

Correct....thus the need for the 1/4 ratchet and extension with the t40 torx bit wrapped with some electrical tape. The 1/4 is so it can fit through that hole, tape to keep the bit from falling off while in that hole, and extension to reach the screw.

 

i can get to mine fine. it's just the head of it is stripped out and i dont know how to get it out.

 

Easy. Just got one that fit perfectly across and turned it out

 

This might be your best option for that bolt at this point.

 

i thought about that. what are the chances of cracking it if i try this way?
