I don't know about the 126 chassis, but the 123 uses flat-head screws that the _taper_ locks to the plate. I have had trouble removing a number of them - but it has never been the fault of the threads. The hammer blow can be especially useful with the "taper lock" of the screw head. And I'm always sure to fully grease the _head_ when re-assembling. Also, if only one is stuck, let the strike plate turn to allow a little less tension on the taper. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

What Rick said - one of those is what I always used on door striker plates. Never had a problem. Of course, that was 20 or so years ago - they've been rusting even more since then. YMMV.

Re: [MBZ] '87 126 striker plate screw
I've done that three times. Maybe I just was lucky but each time the threaded part of the screw just came out with my fingers turning it. Use a drill bit just larger then the threaded part of the screw. Stop when the head falls off. Take the plate off and unscrew the stub by hand. The only hard part in your case is the broken extractor and getting it out of the hole you have so you can make it bigger.
