of the 6 screws that i took off... 4 of them got completly stripped, one of them i couldn't even get off.. i ended up twisting the plate that holds the button down off and ripping the screw out (apoxy was need'd to fix it back in). went to the home depot and bought new screws. there metric size m4 machine screws for anyone who has done something similar and needs them replaced.

Truth ^^^this is the worst part of the install...I cannot stress this enough...them bitches dont come out and you will strip them....before you strip them get a offset screwdriver. Its the one that is shaped like an S. Any other screwdriver will strip them. Once I started using this they all came out...better leverage and ability to apply pressure.
