Removing screws/standoffs from motherboards to take the end bracket off - Page 2

jghilino...If the sheet is flat enough, I've had good luck in the past with the pressed in ones just putting it face-down on the ground and whacking each one with the ball end of a ball peen hammer. Goes pretty fast if you can hit straight. I'd get about three or four in a row then take five whacks to hit the next one. Kinda like my putt-putt golf game. Also, I've taken a few inches wide piece of 1/4" or bigger steel and run it along the flat slamming into each one and clipping them off.

Yup, thank you sir for that. I just Love low-techy & easier, solutions to prior problems. Ya gotta appreciate Vgrips eh, kinda like a tear down guys swiss army knife eh. Go git 'em PF... lb

I might be wrong but I think Puntfarmer is talking about the little hex screws that hold the steel plate on the mother board. The screws are next to the conector blugs on the board. I have a small socket that fits them and goes in my cordless screwdriver and I can zip them right out.
