Trying to get them off, but none of them are budging. Vice grips and DW40 not helping, just chewing the heads up. Can I drill these out without ruining the 'screw recepticals?' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) (sorry, I'm tired...) Although I'm assuming that the reason I can't get them to move is because they're rusted in there. Flat-head screws suck, btw.
When I do get these out, and assuming I have an outer long that only needs minor rust repairs, how do I go about refastening the under side of the rocker panels? Thanks! ~Robert |

WD-40 is not a penetrating oil. Get yourself some PB Blaster or Aero Kroyl. Spray the screw, then thump it with a hammer a couple'a times. No, not hard enough to move the sheetmetal around, but enough that the screw knows it's been hit!
Come back the next day, repeat. Come back the following day, repeat. If that sucker doesn't move the fourth day (USE THE RIGHT SIZE SCREWDRIVER!!!), hit it with a torch! --DD |
