One screw comes out fine, but the other just spins in place. Any ideas how to get it out?

Thanks.
 
needle nose vice grips, pull up while un screwing it
 
Not sure if it's the same as the 91 but if it's the molded in nut that's spinning, your best option is to cut the screw in half with a small off cut wheel on a dremel. Had to do it on all the airbox screws on my 91.
 
I've removed the air box and grabbed onto the insert with a small pair of vicegrips before.
 
I'm a little ashamed it took this long, but yesterday I finally got around to this.

I took this opportunity to test for the first time the 4" angle grinder I bought.

I used a couple of zip ties to secure the top of the box back on.

Thanks for the help!
