Hello all I used conglomerations of these methods and got the screws out of the weights with no damage, and installed the new springs. I hate having to do that job with that governor collar in the way! Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, that's the great thing about this site! Everyone works together to help each other out John Robles

Use the correct size screwdriver which is quite small. Attach a pair of vise-grips to the screwdriver handle and use the grips to turn the screwdriver as you apply pressure. It works every time for us! The vise-grips give you just enough leverage to do the job and not strip the tiny screw. Good Luck!

I have removed the weights and springs from the shaft, but the small screws that connect the weight to the springs will not budge. What do you all recommend to get them loose? They are really tight and I don't want to strip the screwheads.
