- Get an impact screwdriver. You hit the end of it with a hammer and it exerts a
- twisting motion at the same time the hammer force drives the bit tightly into
- the screw head. It will even work on boogered up screws.

- My old Yamaha engine (along with most other old Jap bikes) are held together
- with philips head screws. If you use a regular screwdriver, you will destroy
- the screws maybe 90% of the time. The impact screwdriver always work and they're
- less than $20.

- Hope this helps.
