I enlarged the hole (4 of them out of the eight) on both the one piece and two piece tail cones so that I could remove the tail cone without having to remove all the NGV screws.
BTW the screw that broke off was not one of the ones that held the tail cone on (i.e. it was one of the screws sitting in the enlarged holes so had only been removed once).
It looks like the holes in the casing and the NGV are slightly out of alignment so the screw that broke was getting caught on the casing as I was trying to get it out. I replaced all the screw with SS before I even started the engine for the first time.

Why is one of the holes in the tail cone enlarged so much? Both tail cones seem to be that way...? Did it come like that from the factory?
