It's in the way, and it's near impossible to get that crap out of there without removing the rectifier. Just be sure to put it back on when you're finished.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #153981 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn....

Not a big deal if you have to drill them out a bit, but like the guys said, try a different Phillips.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #153983 Liferider1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 308 Re:in the middle of removing ais 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Not sure if you have the california model or not.

Had me cursing like a sailor and just before striping them beyond repair I try a different driver and they came out like they were loose.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #154071 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:in the middle of removing ais 3 Years, 4 Months ago   After trying with a phillips head screw driver and nearly destroying the head I ended up having to clamp down on those screws with a vice-grip pliers in order to break the screw free. Once it got free it turned out fairly easily. Some use a dremel to cut a flat head slot and get them out that way. Those screws were the hardest part about getting the AIS off the bike. Good Luck!

Shoot some penetrating oil on them and let them soak a few minutes.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
