• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Maintains proper alignment of cosmetic and service panels

• One truss-head screw (8-32 x 0.343 in)

• Use the correct #2 Phillips driver; a magnetic bit helps hold the screw
• Tighten snugly but avoid overtightening to prevent thread or panel damage
• Disconnect power before removing or working near electrical components
• If threads are damaged, replace with the exact part rather than reusing with thread repair
