On tough ones I use heat. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | Patience, heat, PB Blaster, pressure, tapping and tightening before loosening all work. I have removed the screw tip from the driver and inserted it into the problem screw and tapped it a few times after letting PB do its thing. If all else fails drill the screw out and try removing with a screw extractor. They are available in a variety of sizes from your local hardware store, home center or auto parts supplier. Best of luck with your problem screws. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 77 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 77 | use of a clutch head socket and an impact driver along with a good penetrating oil is the best way I have found over the years. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 18 | If you have access to a wire welder, tack a 1/4" nut onto the head of the screw. The wire is small enough to weld inside the nut. The heat from the coupla seconds of welding should also be enough to loosen the threads. A little penetrating spray, and a wrench or socket on the nut should get it off. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 68 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 68 | PBblaster and really tight vice grips on the head worked for me on a number of clutch head screws on my 50 3600 truck. A few I had to heat with a plumbers torch then PBblaster on them. Let the PBblaster sit a 1/2 hour or so. Tap with a hammer a bit, then crank a set of vice grips on the head and give a twist. | | |
