tamper proof screws - carb rebuild
Turbo Mini Forums

Well they're doing their job!

Got the ones which hold on the dashpot and the float bowl off, whith some hacksawing and molegrips as found on the turbo rebuild guide turbo phils website.

But i have a tamperproof screw on the end of the float needle, can't get a hacksaw in there or my molegrips.. any ideas on how to get it out!?

thanks

is that not the one in Tom Fenton's guide you have to prise out? might be worth a search for his guide

Tap a small 1/4 drive socket on I forget which size but this is what I used.

You mean the float pivot pin? Isn't that an allen key?

I use a dremel with the small cutting disc fitted, cut a slot in it & screwdriver it out.

float pivot pin, sorry.. must work on my terminology

heres the one, i'll try and get a small socket on it then the dremel:

I ended up using a junior hacksaw blade by hand to make a slot. A dremel would be much quicker.

Another option is to use a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer, and undo it by putting the blade on the side of the screw and tapping it.

tools i used where 4" grinder, large flat blade screw driver, small cold chisel with a sharp edge and some time worked for me

I had the same problem with mine (see my build thread) but just a flat bladed screwdriver and hammer got mine out, just use the screwdriver to drift the thing round
