Simple problem...

[Will Fox]

Hi there!

This is my first post, so sorry if its in the wrong place/really simple ect...

I need to remove a screw from a semi-circular drawer that spins out from a desk. Seems easy, however the screw is upside down, and there is not enough space between the screw and the lower part if the desk to fit a screw driver or ratchet to fit, and some pliers and a screwdriver bit doesn't work due to a small lip that stops the bit from reaching...

I don't want to break it, are there any ways I can unscrew it that I'm missing? I'll upload a photo to try and make it a bit clearer...

Cheers!
Will

I can't see the screw in your picture.

What would happen if you lifted the desk up, or tipped it over?

If it was assembled with a screw then it can be dissembled, you may be overlooking something in the way it's put together.You can however get screwdrivers as short as 40mm, would that fit?
Draw appear to be plastic? if all else fails you could drill a hole to allow in screwdriver and if required fill the hole again with a grommet.

hard to see what the prob is from pic. however this may help http://www.axminster.co.uk/confined-space-ratchet-driver

or if screw head is proud try clamping molegrips around the screwhead and undoing a bit at a time

Picture offers very little help, could we have a bit more clarity on what you have. It maybe that you require to remove other components to gain access.
