A really daft bit if advice sought here.! Does anyone know how to shift the screw which fixes the earth lead to the flywheel cover on my PX.? The screw feels quite soft metal and using a large pozi it is still splaying. Tried using a flat head for better grip, no good, and can't get a firm hold with mole grips. Also, I've tried tapping handle on screw driver while trying to turn it , and also soaked it in wd40. Nothing seems to work. Cheers

How about a little heat on the back of the crankcase where the screw goes in. Mole grips should work with the risk of scratching some paint. Or... While its soaking in wd40 again..... Cut a slot in it for a tight fitting large flat head screw driver. Hacksaw or dremmel. You ll probably only get one good go at it so make sure to do it right, first time.... Be sure sure to use a new screw too when you put it back.
