I've found the small impact drivers that use the 1/4" hex drive
are great for dissasembling these old trucks. I've used my
Makita 18v for removeing stubbern screws and bolts from inner
doors and door hinges that conventional scrwdrivers or sockets
wouldn't budge. Works great on clutch head screws also.
Try one and you will be amazed at the difference.

Between the two upper posts you have my method... I have a HF bag-o-bits and just weld a 1/4" bit (whatever fits)to the screw and then twist. Heat plus solid purchase gets most of the really bad ones.

use a hammer drill on slow speed in reverse with the right bit for the screw
