Gearbox screw won't come out!
ARHH!!!

I need help!

I just went out and bought a brand new set of alen key to try to get this screw out my gearbox!

The screw isn't strip, but it seems like it's getting there!

The 1/16" is too small, the 5/32" is too big!... I even have 2mm and 2.5mms, and even so, one is too big, and one is too small!...

What do I do?!..

They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

If you cannot get any torx or allen keys to work, take your dremel tool and cut a slot in it and use a slot screwdriver. Had to do that before myself

+1.... the more he posts about gundoc tips on this forum, the more I feel like never giving him a broken gun to repair... XD

(no offense, but please read your previous posts in the "Doctor's corner" )

... I'm in the same position as you with money being spent on food and college... but I'm able to afford the right tools because people pay me money to fix their stuff... because they know it's going to be fixed right and with the proper tools...
