Two screws holding the front turn signal lens on. The bottom one comes out, the top one won't budge. Any suggestions on how to get it out without destroying the lens?

Some times tapping on the screwdriver with a hammer is enough to loosen the threads of a stuck screw. The force breaks the bonds of the rust on the screw to the metal.
You might get some penatrating fluid such as PB Blaster or other brand name to run down the shaft of the screw and let it sit for a few days. WD40 is a protectant and lubricate but there are better penatrating fluids out there. |
