Hi there ,
I recently run into trouble while trying to remove a plate head exchanger from a Baxi duo tec 33 he. I had removed this successfully in the past to clean around 2 years ago as it was blocked with dirty inside I did a nice cleaning put it back in place and hot water start to work consistently again. Yesterday I tried to have this removed again as one of the showers was not getting enought hot water, but the head of the 2 screws from the heat exchanging plate that holds it in place got completely worn out when I use a hand screw driver. I was surprise how these screws got worn out so easily! Now I got no grip at all to use any screw driver as the screw head is completely gone. These screw are also flash inside the boiler so there is not room at all for me to remove this using any pliers or any other type of tool that I can think of. I am wondering if anyone would have any suggestion in how to remove these screws? And if I manage to do so I will definetly need new replacement screws as these are completely useless now. Photo attached.
