Use a #20 Torx driver, hold the flywheel with
a screwdriver against the housing, turn
clockwise. If you have not already destroyed
the grip inside the screw this will remove it, these are never easy, good luck.

John,
The safest way to undo the screw is put some starter rope down the plug whole to the exhaust port side. Then place a # 20 screw driver into the screw and tap it with a hammer to relieve it. Then you should be able to undo the screw without to much problem.

Bruce
