500 alternator stator screws - five out of six are solid.
Trigger:
PH3 is Phillip's, not JIS ;)
andy120t:
I have that tool...it's very unclear which way is which, but if you use it on a fastener that isn't tight, and just give it a little tap, then you can see which way it turns it for the L or R setting.
Nb - do you need to remove the windings to polish the case? If it ain't broke etc...
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
All my JIS tools are also marked with a PH number as well - all academic now as I have undone the lot.
Following Matt's idea I read some online instructions - put my Big Boy work gloves on - found my second biggest lump hammer then gave the outer screws some serious percussion - all came loose in under two minutes.
As I was undoing the inside screws my tool fell apart - I found the balls & cups put it back together re-fitting the circlip - last two came undone but not before the tool came apart again. Needs a new circlip I guess.
I'm now knackered - enough for today - time for a beer!

I have a certain penchant for stripping down completely - it's one of my many faults - often leading to more earth in the money pit.
. ;D ;D ;D

That is because you have been sold something as JIS when it is just Phillips . PH stands for Phillips. All JIS are P1, P2, P3 ;)
