[CAUT] Broken agraffe

[Jim Busby]

Hi Jeff,

I'm sure you'll get a lot of replies, but here's mine.

First, take a very small screwdriver and small hammer and gently tap the screw at the edge in the direction to turn it out. 99% of the time this gentle nudging will start the screw turning, then it will turn by fingers. If that doesn't work there are several easy out systems that I'm sure you'll hear about. Try that first though. 

Jim

Has anyone had to remove a broken agraffe right next to the plate strut where a drill can't fit? Any good ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
