Hi, I purchased the iFixit MAKO driver set. I am trying to replace the earphone speaker on an iPhone XR. The Y000 bit is ok for 3 out of 4 screws that hold the assembly but the smallest screw does not seem to have a proper bit for in this set ? Any hints ?
Is this a good question?

Hey there! I am guessing you got a little mixed up, there are actually 3 philips screws on the earpiece speaker, and then 1 Y screw
The yellow one is the Y000
If you are having issue with this screw, it is a completely different bit than the other 3
The red one is the one that you would use. Below it is the normal 00 or 000. you want to use the Y000 or Y00
Was this answer helpful?
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this ! The one you indicate in red is indeed Y000 but that is too big for the screw. I managed to remove 3 out of the 4 screws of the earpiece speaker with that one but the 4th screw is even smaller. I tried adding a picture of the screw but that does not seem to be an option for me ?
I think you would need to update your original questions - as i don't think you can upload a photo in a comment. I will open up an XR here in a bit, and update my answer with some pictures of that screw and the ifixit Y000 in action. Maybe you are experiencing some plain ol bad luck and yours is stripeed? I'll try to get that update this evening in the next few hours.
You did say you managed to remove 3 of the 4 with that screwdriver? the thing is - the 4th screw is not the same as the others. So something odd is going on. The 3 screws you did get out, use the + type. (000) and the 4th you can't get out is a Y type. (Y000) there is one less tooth and the 000 you used to get the other 3 out, will not work on it, and vice versa.
