Whats the best way to get the little screw thats staked out so that I can remove the shroud? I've soaked the thing with kroil and still nothing. Should I use an easy out and replace? Anything would help.

Screw removal

I took a pin punch and drove the staked metal back away from the screw slot, placed an old screw driver in the slot and tapped down some times the tapping will loosen the threads, then took a hollow ground blade screwdriver bit that fit the slot and turned it out using the ratchet handle in a Chapman grudriver set. Heating might help. Some Izzy assembled shrouds have been soldered in place, afer removing the screw you might have to heat the shroud/trunion area to melt the solder.

Try to remove the stakings with a center punch between the screw and the shroud,then you can use a hand impact driver to breack it loose or a hammer and a punch. Some shrouds are silver solderd on, so you may need some heat.

Heat to cherry red. It will back out despite any staking.
