[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1406070, member: 3187"] Hint, they are not Philips screws. Try using the screwdriver from the toolkit, they fit the OEM JIS screw properly. Same with all other cross-headed screws on the bike. Philips screws and drivers were designed to deliberately cam out the screwdriver when sufficient torque was reached during assembly. Using a Philips screwdriver in a JIS screw results in damage to the screw, plus difficulty in holding the driver in place when undoing the screw. [/QUOTE]
