+==== General Screw Removal ====
+Phillips Head Screws: \\
+Always use the correct wrench for the screw heads you're working with. \\
+Using a too small Phillips screwdriver will strip the head of a Phillips screw. \\
+Not using enough force against a Phillips screw when removing or installing can strip the head of the screw. \\
+Using a short Phillips screwdriver with the correct size end leaves you less torque than using a long one. \\
+Then you have to push harder on the screw while turning and slippage of the tool begins. \\
+You can also use a screwdriver bit adapter on a socket wrench to give you more turning power especially when removing stubborn screw. \\
+It's not a good idea to tighten Phillips head screws with a socket wrench. \\
+A good thick long screwdriver is generally all that's needed. \\
+**Caution**: tightening Phillips head screws with a socket wrench can strip the heads of the screw. \\
+Loosening a screw: Always keep good pressure against the screw while turning it until it loosens up. \\
+Tightening a screw: Snug plus a nudge is all it takes to tighten these carb screws with a socket wrench. \\
+(especially with no torque specs in the service manuals) \\
