Breaks off inside the screw? It happened twice to me and the screws are going through a two sheet thick face. Whats the baest way to get the woofer out without hurting it, now I'm drilling it out with a bit thats bigger than the head of the screw. Is there a better way? Help me out here cause I'm running out of time to test before sbn.

dunno about better...but you can take a cutting wheel and slice a semi-deep line straight across and use a flat head to unscrew it?

[Confused] never had that happen.

maybe take an awl or something with a sharp point and a hammer and carefully try to get under that phillips bit.either that or maybe take a punch about the size of the screw head and give it a couple good whacks with a hammer to loosen the bit up a little.It happens to me at work all the time and one of those usually takes care of it.try pre drilling those screw holes next time

Anyways, id do it just like deafy said, cut a slot in the screw and take it out with a flathead.
