Remora injector screw.

[Secondgen]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get a stuck nylon injector screw out of a remora skimmer without causing damage? I know I've read about others having this same problem, but can't recall how they fixed it or if they did. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm assuming you mean you got the injector screw stuck inside the skimmer.

If so, to remove it, you'll want to drain the skimmer, take off the feed pump, and turn it upside down and shake until it comes out of the feed pipe.

Hope this helps

I have had the same problem with the nylon plug in my urchin...
Assuming that the screw head is still in shape so you can get a screwdriver in there, here is what I had to do when mine got stuck...I found the widest flat head screwdriver I had, inserted it in the groove on the top of the plug and I verrrry sloooowlllly turned it counterclockwise until the plug started to move. I was able to get it out but it really ripped the top of the plug all apart. HTH
