I looked at the base gasket and it was shot, actually ripped when I pulled it off lol

welp opened my clutch cover and the lock screw that you use to loosen the flower nut was so tight, i ended up stripping it.....

You have to watch with that since they are a brass screw (at least it was on mine) almost stripped mine

 

[AutOtaku]

well its f'd now so i guess i can never adjust my clutch.....

You might be able to get it retapped but I'm not sure if there's something important behind it

i wouldnt want to drill into it as i fear i may hit a clutch pad or two. I know there cheap but money is tight for now....

Use an easy out like 5/64" or 1/8" looks like the size you need an extractor sets at harbor freight $8. All you have to do is drill a hole big and deep enough for the easy out to thread in and grab the screw. There is nothing you can damage if you drill all the way through anyways (pic). Or you can try and use vice grips but the area to grab is very small.

Here is the clutch out of engine. And has your stripped screw removed. Should look familiar.

Here is best view of the "nothing" you can hit if you drill all the way through.

And here you see it opened up and where the screw hole lines up with... nothing.

So what it amounts up too is just to drill a hole all the way through the side of the engine....

Jk jk.... I'd watch for the flower nut though, if you drill that hole too wide then it will hang on the nut

Exactly. You shouldn't need that big of a drill bit tho unless you plan on threading the new hole and putting a different screw in. I would try drilling a small hole for the easy out half way through the screw and try to extract the stripped screw this doesn't always work and you might have to do the above.

So you stripped the little screw. I can think of two fairly simple fixes.

Using a dremel, grind a centered line into the stripped phillips threads on the screwhead. Make it so you can simply remove it with a larger flat head screwdriver. Once the screw is removed, all you have to do is find a new screw.

Let's say that doesn't work. Let's say the EZ Out method doesn't work. Simply make an accurate measurement in another part of the clutch drum so that you can drill and tap for another screw of the same size.
