Hello everyone. I just can’t seem to fathom this! How do I remove the retained thumbscrews from the belt covers on my Myford SUPER7 lathe ? In order to restore them. Thanks in anticipation.

A possible hint:

I don’t the Super 7 but the change-wheel cover’s retaining-screw on the Myford 7 looks as if its head is screwed very tightly onto the end of the stem. Or perhaps peened on.
