How to remove the chain guard

[mach1970]

Okay, I have been trying to remove the philips screws that hold the chain guard on and I can't get them off.  I am almost ready to resort to an impact driver.  Any ideas before I do that and break something?


Thanks,

smack the end of the screwdriver with a hammer to jar threads and then try to remove screws or a bit out of a screw gun.yes its hard on screwdrivers

I had to use a really big screw driver. They have loctite on them.

The screws on the chain guard have blue locktight. you have to really put some muscle into it, or like it was stated above hit the screw driver with a hammer. they but in in there so the screws do vibrete out.
