Hey Gents,
In the “well this isn’t fun category” (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I’m taking the tin’s off my 1.8... (Who’s bright idea was it to use flat head screws?) So far, the ones going into the block are frozen...Should I apply heat? On the exposed ones, a little nut buster and some heat they came right off, I’ve tried tapping with a hammer and a screwdriver, to no avail.... But, I’m apprehensive about using heat with ones that go into the block? Should I be? As always, thanks in advance... |

I use a hand impact on the tough ones. I have any old Craftsman set and the large flathead fits perfectly.
I also have a set of metric Stahlwille screwdrivers that have a hex section on the shank that you can put a box end wrench on, and they really work well. You can really lean on it and turn it with the wrench. There's a difference between metric and SAE screws and the right fit makes a difference on tough to remove fasteners |
