Default Bolts on Reg/Rec stuck

Call me an idiot but is there a special screw driver needed to remove the reg/rec from a curvy?

On mine I have two big crosshead screw/bolt things but not like normal bolts/screws.

I tried a normal crosshead and a flat head screw driver and none of them fit well enough to undo the screw

Any ideas?

I have no idea what it is you're trying to remove but it might be a torx screwdriver, they look a bit like a phillips head but with more slots.

Nope its not one of those. Its like a double flat head screw in an X shape.

a phillips is no good.......... you just need a big flat head screwdriver.

Have you tried wacking the screwdriver with a hammer when its in the bolt? This might help to break it from the thread. Also, try soaking with e.g. wd40 overnight
