Help removing motor mount

[000jb]

What kind of screws are holding the engine mount in the frame? I have tried metric screwdriver, allen wrench and T 10 torx. Looks like it might be a smaller T type of screw. Any ideas?

The B450 has four (4) 2mm allen screws holding the motor/mount; two on each side of the frame. I suggest using a good quality allen wrench since these screws can easily strip. Once the screws are removed, the motor (and mount) can be removed with little-to-moderate force by carefully prying the 2 halves of the frame (just enough to pull the motor/mount out). I hope this helps.

Thanks I will try a 2 mm Allen wrench.

That took care of it, the screws are poor quality.

I've been using these sources for the four hex screws that connect the motor plate to the frame:

Also, here are some of the hex drivers I've had luck with (Turnigy set is better IMO):
