Howdy,

Trying to replace the flipper bushings on an Addam's Family, but they appear to be stuck fast to the flipper base plate... Any suggestions?

Have removed the bolts underneath, but screws are not turning - various screw drivers are just ruining the screw posi/Philips head...

Cheers.

Quoted from vid1900:

So you removed the lock-nuts from the backside of the plate, and now the screws will still not turn CCW?
Heat the screws up with a big solder gun or micro torch - someone may have used Loc-Tite on them.
Turn the now ruined screws with a pair of Vice-Grips

Hello,

Yes, locknuts removed ok, but screws not turning and ruining the heads. Haven't tried vice grips on them, may give that a go.

Thanks.
