Hi Guys,a really silly yet annoying problem,trying to change a diaphamm on a 2402,cant undo the rear screw securing the phase plug,if i put any more leverage on it,its going to shear the screw off,any ideas? the driver is nice and clean,its not a rusty old one.
Thanks,Ian.

Hi Ian,

had the same problem some time ago......take a good fitting srewdriver for the srews head, lay the driver face down on a hard surface, a good punsh with a hammer on the srewdrivers back, in most cases it works now.

only my experiance, maybe it will work also with your driver.

Try to tighten it first an then it should come free easily. Make sure your screwdriver is the correct type for the screw. This tip works a treat for old woodscrews esp brass like you get on door hinges but also works on machine screws. :)

Yes,thanks guys, success HP! i gave it a good sharp whack as u suggested,and its now apart...was actually a fair bit of corrosion on the retaining screw thread when i got it out...anyway,all OK now.:applaud:
