Reconing a BTL

Recommended Posts

Hi, i recently bought a recone kit for my Btl. It was a 12" and I am upgrading to an 18". I cut the surround and spider to remove the cone. Now, i see the screws holding the basket to the motor. Simple, right? Well i cant get the screws to break from the motor. They were soldered on to the metal. I broke the solder with a screwdriver, and now i'm left with six screws that WILL NOT budge. I really put some power behind one screwdriver and the screw started to strip on the top. Any ideas?

They may use a glue to keep them from unscrewing, may have to heat them up. Hopefully someone who has some experience can post

You need a pneumatic tool, CA glue is on top of the bolt as well as holding the motor to the basket.

You need to go get an impact screwdriver to get those out. If you do anything else you are just going to strip the heads and have to retap the motor.
