HELP! Can't Remove Screw

[Rabbit]

depending on whether you want to use this as an excuse to buy another tool or not, Jaycar did used to sell a pair of pliers for such occasions. I have found them very useful, but I guess it depends on how much other DIY stuff you do as to whether or not you can justify the expense.

Hey Rabbit, are these the ones you mean? https://www.jaycar.com.au/fujiya-175...rchText=pliers

The only thing is i'm not sure the head will fit between the pickup and the cavity wall....its really tight.

Yeh, those are the ones. here is another view with a scale to give you an idea of size:

Thanks Rabbit, i can at least measure this to see if they will work, but i'm guessing i won't fit them in. However removing the head of the screw and getting the pickup out may just provide the room i need so will look at that.

Also the pic is really handy as it shows what Dikkybee007 was saying about the grooves running vertically rather than horizontally with respect to the screw.
