From which figure? Rust can be removed by an anti oxidant like Johnsons GLO

The figure in question seems to be MP Soundblaster for those curious.

Looks like a regular screw, which means you can use an ordinary Philips-head screwdriver (or a crosshead as we call it in Dutch). Be sure to get one that's small enough, and try both directions.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Another tip. Light pressure as you may scratch of the black off the screw.

Sometimes, the screw is jammed permanently into the hole. Try WD-40 to loosen. If it won't, don't force it.

Can you show me the picture for ordinary Philips-head screwdriver? But the Screw is slide wire, the screwdriver doesn't work now.

WD40 is a lubricating solution

Slide wire? Is that some lost in translation version or regionalism for stripped?

I'd be careful with WD40, maybe instead of just spraying it up in there, spray some on a q-tip and apply it that way.

It might also be useful to try another screwdriver. Sometimes if you can find a flathead driver that fits it can help apply more torque to a stubborn philips head screw. Phlips tend to slip easily (and are apparently designed to be that way).

As in everything spray sparingly. That's why the straw come in handy. Apply a Q tip on the part in particular, would not be too practical. See the Soundwave/blaster design of the screw? The screws need to be soaked a bit >:oP
