i just had a thought. What if a screw a screw in from underneath to push the broken one out? i just put my truck together so i dont want to do it now, do you think it will work?

that is a negative on working with the screw. It will only go against the other one and bind it in there.

Ok then. Just thought it would work cause I remember thats what you do when making the supermaxx diffs.

I have used the drill method on stuff bigger. I works if screw is not in there tight. If you use about a 2mm bit as the drill grips the screw to drill it will spin it out.

yeah that sounds good, i'll try it and let ya know how it goes.

Try heating the bulkhead with a hair dryer or heat gun. It will make the screw a little eaiser to get out.
