Ferrari Mailing List: Re: <NFC>removing broken screw question

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hey Lee,
   You might be able to snip the tip of the screw off, then center punch 
it - then using a small (obviously) drill bit drill it out.  Often, the 
drill will turn the screw and effectively unscrew it.
You may even save the tail light part - which I'm sure you prefer -

Good luck -

Sincerely,
