Or did you strip the face off of the bolt?? Then you would have to use pliers to get it out. The bolt size is like M4 x 1.5 x 30 IIRC.. Don't hold me to it though..lol Dom

All it takes is a little corrosion on the threads to make it hard to turn.. and I know that the screws are made of a soft material.. That's why I replaced mine with different screws... Something with a socket head and stronger.. Just my 0.02 ... Dom
