Calling all Star Wars Yoke rebuilders out there....
Alright you yoke rebuilders...I need some help/suggestions.
I am trying to replace the bumpers. In order to do that, you need to remove the three 7/64" cap screws that hold the steering assembly together. I am able to remove two of the screws, but one of them is still in there and it is mocking me. The interior of the cap screw is starting to strip. I've tried to use a pair of long nose vice grips, but it looks like I'm marring up the exterior of the cap screw. I've squirted some wd-40 and let is sit, but that is not helping either.
Any ideas? Anyone face a similar stuck cap screw in the yoke interior? What makes it difficult is the confined internal area of the yoke frame. I don't think I could get a screw extractor in place. I'm stuck....help me, please!
