Removing and replacing the seat retaining screw for Hp2e

[de crowe]

I need to remove the seat on my hp2e. Battery woes. the retaining screw is now threaded. I need to remove the retaining screw and replace it.

Any suggestions as how to get the retaining screw off as the one "key" i have for it is now threaded, not getting any bite at all on the screw. I presume the touratech is the best/only replacement.

thanks in advance. here

I've got a Wunderlich replacement on mine, I think I used mole grips to old one out.

best of luck

Get a decent torx bit or key (t-30) to undo it.
Then change for a high quality aircraft spec Zeus fastener

Cheap option:

£0.04 Can be undone with a coin/screwdriver etc

But whatever you go for, don't forget to use a spring washer if your replacement doesn't have the graphite insert of the original.
