Screws not coming out of bottom steering column cover

[krazypoe]

Hey,

When trying to unscrew the bottom Philips head screws, I'd get only one out but the others just seem to spin in place but don't actually ever come out.

Tried hitting the side of the cover, shaking the screwdriver to wiggle it out, etc. nothing is seeming to work..

IS there a trick to get these out when I'm in this predicament?

Thanks

are using the correct driver?



i had to kick mine off last time because it was on fire....but the old ones were philips....you need a #2 slim shaft and some of the newer ones can be internal or external torx....

Yeah, I got one out with ease but the other 2 get to a point where they just spin in place. But if I tighten, I can feel it screwing back into place.

I'll perhaps keep trying.

tilt the wheel up and pull down.
