+ | 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) \\ | ||
