   Took the ECU off and the screw that goes into the wing keeps locking up about half way down and can't screw it in anymore.
   
   What tool do you guys use? It's difficult to get at as it is so i assume the screw isn't going in straight.

   Drill hole out and re tap the hole with a bigger size tap then use a bigger bolt.

   Think the area he is onabout has the threaded piece of metal welded inside the wing.
   
   If it threads in but doesn't lock, use a few washers so it doesn't thread all the way to the threads that don't lock and also use a spring washer so it doesn't vibrate lose.
