I've tried penetrating oil and the large flat screws won't budge. Is there a trick of the trade to get them off or should I heat them and try it. I don't want to strip them as there a rare commodity around here. Enjoy the sight and I get lots of info from it.

They have a handle, assorted bits and you blast em with a "fairly large hammer".

The impact driver works good after that but I've never seen a clutch head driver large enough for the door screws. Those are the single hardest screws on the truck to remove. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | Another thing that worked for me...turn the stuck ones in first and then out... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 144 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 144 | Thanks for the info, I used penetrating oil, let them sit for a few days and then took the screwdriver and put it on the edge of the screw and pounded them counterclockwise. It broke the seal and they all came off. Thanks again.
