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 |

One of the handiest tool I have is a hand held impact driver, which can be fitted with various bits (flat and phillips screwdrivers and even allen sockets). You position it and twist the body in the direction you want it to move and strike the plunger on the end with a hammer. You may break the screw or bolt, but will not strip it out. Mine is about a 25 year old Craftsman. |
