Fin screws JUST. WONT. TURN...

Postby tomthetreeman » Tue Aug 13, 2019 10:39 pm

Futures fin boxes in an older Ricky Carroll fun board. Went to change out the fins (one has a broken tip), and the screws are effing FROZEN. I’ve been soaking them with penetrating oil for almost two days with no luck... My fin keys are actually twisting trying to back the screws out. Thoughts? TIA!

Interesting... Just a screw extractor. I guess I need one! Thanks!
