K2-K6:
More recently I've been using an impact driver bit that on its own I tap with a hammer into the screw head to make sure it's fully fitted ( if the screw's head has been butchered a little, I peen the damage back in gently with a ball peen hammer).
Then use a screwdriver / drill with the torque clutch set low and just buzz it to get the screw to release. Don't use one of the impact screwdrivers, you just need the clutching to give a rotary impact if that makes sense. It seems to get most things undone without putting much stress into the assembly.
You have to be able to lean on the drill to make sure the bit doesn't back out of the screw cross.

I have a 80 per cent rate of getting these buggers out, heat up the machine screw, take a PH3 and tap it home to break the seal and turn it out on a wrench. It doesn't always work so as said before, drill it out with a left hand drill bit.

thank you all. i combined the last two posts to come up with my own solution which removed three of the screws but i mashed up the fourth (my own fault). i did a quick search before posting this and came up with nothing, so i posted my solution on the 'tricks and tips' page for others to see.

3 out of 4 is not bad ;). Some of these little buggers will fall out and the rest of the little buggers just don't want to move. This is what makes my job interesting, every engine is different even if it is the same model ;D

the rest of it came apart reasonably quickly and i'm now at this stage.
it looks very good internally so i think it's just a case of making sure all the bearings are good and renew all the seals etc. it all has to come out over the next few days so that will keep me busy for a while. i'm on a diet but i think i deserve a nice coffee and some dark chocolate after all the dismantling work!
