P500 Getting pins out

[rustyneversleeps]

I feel your pain. I stripped/rounded one or two myself. Before rounding them completely, a friend had an impact driver that loosened them. Impact driver is the answer. I replaced those, plus bought two extra. They are expensive little screws. Must be gold filled.

Where did you get replacement screws? I've ordered more of both styles of pushpins, but need to grab a few more screws also. Thanks again

The question is what tip were you using? Those are #3 phillips not #2's. Just thought I'd mention that so you don't strip any of the other 3.

Here's some more comic relief...any ideas I'm all ears. Got everything off and basically have the seatbelt clip exposed but cant get behind it. Last screw on the drivers side View attachment 272711to get the panel off and it is on there so tight I stripped it. Went slow with hand screwdriver, then slow with drill, then tried flathead. I can't get the thing off and it's stripped now like a mofo. So funny I need to add all this to my build thread.

I don't have any rubberbands at the house to try and not sure what else to do besides drilling it out or getting an extractor.

Any ideas?🤣

I would just cut the plastic off around the bolt and not worry about the bolt.

Thanks - I got 5 of them off without any issue and this one was the last one that was stuck. I'll have to double check the head size but I didn't have any play in the bit when it was in the screw head.

My OCD would not allow it 🤣

That's right, there are 6. They're for sure #3's though. Been several threads in the past of guys having a hard time with these. Honda torqued the hell out of them. Good luck man.

IIRC, mine looked a little corroded as well, even on a brand new machine. I'll be putting some anti seize on them when they go back in.

Thanks guys! Took about 1 minute once I used the easy out like @SILVER_ALERT suggested! Now fingers crossed the seatbelt bypass works 🤣

Does this look right? I Thought the looped end was supposed to connect to the seatbelt?

Edit - I turned the key on with the connectors like that and the seatbelt sign on the dash wasn't flashing. when I connected the seat belt back together like it was originally, the seatbelt sign on the dash was flashing. wondering if that means it's working haha?

Hey Mud, free beer in the nickel if you get the vax........😂😂😂

The Honda sxs should come with an impact screwdriver. Either that or they should fire the ape they have running in those screws.

It's probably been covered, but bikebandit or partzilla (or many others) have all the screws, etc. I had to replace several of those under the seats, on the dash, etc. And, you can get a bag of 100 push pins on Amazon cheap. Get extras, you'll need them.
