So I'm looking for some old school mechanic's tricks on this one.
I need to replace the gas tank sending unit on my 59 Apache. The problem is that at some time in the past someone completely rounded out the sockets on the tiny (I'm guessing 6-32 maybe) button head screws that are holding it in place.
I've tried everything I know to get them out. Started with a few rounds of Kroil to prep them. Tried Easy-outs (really misleading name in my opinion). I've previously had success with left handed drill bits catching and turning small screws out. No luck this time. I filed a slot in the head of one of them to try a flathead screw driver. No joy there either. I didn't think it's a good idea to grind on them, being that gasoline is on the other side.
I know some of you have been around the block........a few times. I'm hoping someone's got one of those ingenious old school tricks. If not, I'll just have to increase my patience and keep at it.
