    Help! I need to replace my hard drive, but the 4 screws that hold it in the metal chassis are so **** tight that I cant unscrew them. I'm worried if I keep trying I'm going to strip the screws entirely. This is ridiculous. How tight do they really need to be?

    Does anyone have any advice on how I can get these friggin screws out???

    Update, this thread can be closed.

    I literally had to use a stripping tool from my shed to burrow into the screws in order to get them out. Unreal. Superman must have screwed that hard drive in.

    ask for a new set of screws if they are ruined.
