Hello!

Having a hell of a time trying to get these 2 screws out for gear oil
Tried 3/8 flat head screwdriver, even with wrench attached
- Tapping it

I'm afraid of strip it. There has to be an easier way to get it out

Before I got the impact screwdriver I used a short stubby wide blade screwdriver and would smack it with a hammer.

Mine is difficult to remove every year. Finally bought a hex socket version screw that I’ll install this fall.
