Good day folks. Trying to remove top of my MightyVac fluid extractor. I see they use Phillips head screws but screws won’t loosen. Am I missing something? Thank You for all help and advice.
Dumb question on MightyVac

Just looked at mine. If it's the same model, I have nuts on the bottom off the Phillips head screws. Try getting a socket on them to help get them off. Might be a nylon insert nut, or Loctite. Should come off.
Just looked at mine. It’s a MV 7201 and whatever they are they are right up against body of the reservoir.
You may need to use needle-nose pliers as shown in the video below around the 1 minute mark.
Well the Mighty Vac I could only remove 3 if the screws. They butted up other three right against rib on cylinder. Gave it to friend. Probably grab this one tomorrow looks better made.

I like this well-reviewed extractor that is currently on sale at Amazon for $60. It has the pneumatic power option (in addition to the standard manual pump) in case you have a compressor.
My friend just bought the HF one and likes it.
Headed to Harbor Freight in bit. We have one at work; I’ve never used it but co workers say it works amazing.
Mighty Vac is major disappointment. Make a ribbed cylinder and stuff screws right against ribs. Could not get mini needle nose pliers on nut on bottom. Fail!

I couldn’t be happy with this product. Far superior to MightyVac. Note the larger 15 liter size.

Why does one need to get the top off the Mityvac?
