striped screws in crab

[illru]

Anyone have tips on removing the two (brass?) screws next to the spring after the heads have been striped out?

I don't think brute force and ignorance will fix it this time.

drill out the head carefully and hopefully you'll have enough of the threaded part to back out with pliers.
Soak in pb first.

there are a variety if striped crabs, it might help to know which species you are dealing with

yip, or a reverse drill bit might be necessary, but be careful, give them a good soak since they probably lost the head cuz there stuck in there really fkn tight and they have no intention of coming out without a lot of coaxing

after 4 minutes of serious thought, and the clues left behind (brass screw) i finally figured out that he means Carbs !!!!

please read your thread before AND after you post, so it makes sense...
striped crabs

and stripped carbs are not exactly in the same ballpark !

:lol::rofl::hurray::biggrinjester::seeya:

which one of you is bozo and which one is cookie ?

 

[bigJake]

i definitely look more like Bozo!!!

After no serious thought, I couldn't figure out why Ocod was telling him to soak his crabs in peanut butter (pb). Maybe he thought they was crotch crabs and that would kill em

Don't forget PJ (petroleum jelly or is that Peach jam?)

Or you could use KY jelly....I know it comes from Kentucky but what flavor is it?

when u coax em out, like baitin a trap ??? do u sweet talk em ????

how long does it take -- when they come out, do they say anything ???

i tried whisperin at em, but hey, im not a crap whisperer ......

 

[bigJake]

Dave, did you get the screws out?

 

[LouDoo]

If all else fails you might want to buy an extra set of carbs. I just bought a set off EBay, both carbs, intake manifold, oil pump, flame arrester in really good shape (actually better than the set I have) for $49.00 + $15.00 shipping.

generally I never whisper, I have some very creative uses of the english language that come out of the woodwork when I have something really really stuck, i swear some things won't come out UNTIL you start cussing at them
