Posted June 5, 201015 yr Hi, i recently bought a recone kit for my Btl. It was a 12" and I am upgrading to an 18". I cut the surround and spider to remove the cone. Now, i see the screws holding the basket to the motor. Simple, right? Well i cant get the screws to break from the motor. They were soldered on to the metal. I broke the solder with a screwdriver, and now i'm left with six screws that WILL NOT budge. I really put some power behind one screwdriver and the screw started to strip on the top. Any ideas?
June 5, 201015 yr They may use a glue to keep them from unscrewing, may have to heat them up. Hopefully someone who has some experience can post
June 5, 201015 yr You need a pneumatic tool, CA glue is on top of the bolt as well as holding the motor to the basket.
