i was cleaning my baja 5t today,taking everything apart and cleaning.i removed the spur gear cover and went to remove the spur gear but the screw is stripped..how do i get this off?it is brand new and i never tried to take it off before..
 
best thing I can think of is small drill bit and drill it out without messing up the threads......goodluck. Maybe just dill it out and buy new bell and pinion

you can use a torx head driver. the size that is closest to the allen. you have to hammer it in. works most of the time. of course, you may not be able to do this if your running the plastic tranny housing.
