I removed my sticks to put in my Control Panel. Just use a small flathead screwdriver to get in there to get a good grip. ;) |

You could try a pair of vise grips too. Works much easier. |

I think he means getting the screw driver up underneath the head to pull up and hold it still while you screw from the other side. If the pliers didn't work I might have to recommend the Dremel. But BE CAREFUL! If you go that route, use the fastest speed available and use good eye protection. A low speed will cause the thing to jump and potentially damage the X-Arcade. If possible, cut underneath between the nut and the board. Avoid working on top because you're bound to booger it up. Working underneath leaves more room for error. Plus I guess I don't need to tell you to move away any wires that are even remotely close. If the Dremel jumps and splits a wire (and I speak from experience) it can be a pain in the butt. |
