Yamaha repair

[John Ross]

Hi Phil,
I would be hesitant, about using the power screwdriver, for replacement of
the screws. You stand a greater chance of destroying, or cross threading the
thread of the hole. This would necessitate, having to buy and use larger
screws, in the damaged holes.
Use a screwdriver to start them, by reversing the screw, till it
snaps/drops/clicks into place, then go clockwise. Possibly finishing with a
power screwdriver, with an adjustable clutch.
Best regards,
