I purchased my new Laser as an XD model. The standard hiking strap is mounted on the hull and I want to replace it with the XD hiking strap. I have been unable to loosen and remove the two screws that fasten the forward end of the hiking strap. Does anyone have any tips how to remove these screws?
 
Make sure you have the right phillips head size driver/bit.

If you can't get enough leverage/power to turn the screwdriver, lock on a pair of vice grips to the screwdriver shaft and push down with one hand and turn the vice grips with the other.
 
Clock here for an explanation of all the tools you might need for this particular job and how to properly use each tool.
