and at the same time order a new socket based unit. That screw will strip out the first chance it gets.

Why not just buy the right tool from JP?

Personally, I would get it out by whatever means necessary with what you have laying around ( big screwdriver, chisel, butterknife, etc.). Toss it in the junk bin and get the hex head cap. You can get just the tappet screen plug for $11, or all 3 for about $23 (J&P). Easier to find a wrench or socket than a tappet screen plug tool when you aren't in your garage and need to get the plug off. JMO.

Jammer, I have some extra hex head plugs laying around from my last evo project. They came in a three pack and I only needed 1. Don't have my evo anymore...........I know, I know I don't want to hear anything from you guys. PM your address and I'll send one out. They are just gathering dust here.

Has anyone here used the Motion Pro tool? If it's a quality piece I'm going to order one. I've so far been unable to get the tappet screen plug off of either of the Evo's that I bought this year.
