I need help losing the screws. I am using an Allen wrench without any success. On your your awesome YouTube video it appears that you are unscrewing it by turning to the right. Is that correct? I am turning to the left to unscrew and toning is happening. In fact, I think I have stripped the screws. Please help.

Hello,

Yes, those screws will need to be turned to the left to loosen, just like normal screws. Keep in mind that since the screws are going towards you the left turn might feel awkward, as if you are facing the steering wheel, it might appear that you are turning to the right.

I have attached the replacement procedure below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
