Help removing a damaged propeller screw

Have to replace my propellers, for the life of me I can’t get this screw out and it’s now threaded. Any ideas anyone? Tried gaffer tape etc… :weary:

Pliers or vice grips see if can get a grip of it

You could even try to cut away the plastic of the prop

If you have a dremmel or equivalent, maybe, just maybe, cut a slot straight across and try with a flat point screwdriver

Just to note, I haven’t used this site I just googles easyout and this was the first result.

I’d go this way

Cut away the prop then pliers gently on the body of the screw

Yeah I’m struggling, I just realised I don’t have any pliers! :joy:

I used my wife’s very sharp nail clippers cutting the plastic away and then I unscrewed the head easy with pliers.
