Reply To: Broken Thumb Screw Removal

Thanks,

I believe there is enough at the back I can get some vice grips on it, and try with heat.

I’d like to keep this whole motor intact and original, as it is a low serial number and has been in our family for a long time.

It is an early Yachtwin, the 3 hp but with a 90 degree lower instead.

Any solvent ideas for breaking it loose?
