Quoted from topkat:Is there a trick to getting out stuck screws in the fin-nut. I have a number stuck in the lane guides that need replacing. Last time i kept fighting it and broke the screw itself.. or once they are stuck is snapping and removing the way to go
thanks

If you break off the head of a screw into metal, about the only way to get it out, assuming you can't grab what is left sticking out with a vise grip and turn it, is to use a screw extractor (or ease out as many people call it). But it is not something that you always be sure will work. If the screw extractor doesn't work, you have to drill out the screw and retap the hole, which also, might not always work the way that you think it should. Best to be careful, use a good screwdriver and don't mess up your screw, if that is possible.
