Actually, there is an access hole in the metal 'beam' right above the T15 screw that you can easily remove using a short extension and a 1/4" rachet. Just feel for the access hole and rip a small hole through the foam padding.
This seems like a good option, its insulation and rubber which I believe is for vibration, and its kinda messy but way easier to get the screw out by punching a hole in the foam and rubber.
Thanks for the video it helped me with replacing mine. However, I smell a slight burning smell when my fan is on speed one through three does that go away or is something wrong with the resistor?
The hardest damn thing for us to figure out is the tool to use and how to get it out and you did not take the time to even really explain the tool or show us how to get it out.
How was the low profile too tall if that flexible screwdriver wasn't? I'm here now with an even lower profile tool, I can't imagine how you got that longer one in there, hope to hear from you
The particular low profile tool I had from HF Tool was too tall to sit directly under the screw, let alone loosen it and be able to get the tool out. I technically used my universal joint set up at an angle where it was never directly under the screw. The flexibility of the u-joint made all the difference.

Would have helped if you started the video showing how you got it out!
Thank you for this video helped alot.

What a pain. I put a bit into a ratcheting wrench and hot glued it in. That got the screw out

What was your reason for replacing it?
The fan speed selector switch only worked at high speed. It is good to replace the resistor at the time you replace a fan motor also.
