[QUOTE="cloudbuster, post: 583408, member: 6653"] Don't whack it, u may cause more damages. Try the following: - Get a drill (a small 500W on will do) and buy a small metal-based drill bit. Drill to create a small groove on the broken screw. - Buy a set of those thread-making screws available on most hardware stores. Use one with a suitable size and turn to screw it in either with a small spanner or a plier. This would create a new thread on the broken screw. - Remove the thread-making screw. As u do this, the broken screw should turn together and come out as well. Or else use a bigger screw to remove it. I've tried this method many times to remove broken screws in such situations for various things, and it works every time. I think the reason the original screw broke is because there is already old hardened loctite in it. Gud luck man. [/QUOTE]
