stuck bolts

[tom]

Had the same problem recently.

            A few suggestions,

            1 – Make a dimple with a center punch  and make a pilot hole
with a small drill bit down the center of the screw then drill off the head
with a drill bit the same diameter as the threaded part of the screw.

            2--  Use a small cold chisel and a big hammer and break off the
bolt head

            3--- Call Phil Bondi---he knows everything about rusted and
stuck <G>

Hey Mike,

 

I'm trying to remove the two screws that hold the lisence plate on my car.
They are rusted and stuck fast.  

 

The slots for a screwdiver are stripped, I was able to grab the edge of the
screws with vice grips but they will not turn.  I spayed with PB but they
still wouldn'b budge.  What else can I do?

 

Thanks,

 

David
