<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 549059, member: 10012"]Next to last option: Assume that screw is not savable. Take a small, sharp chisel and place at edge of screw face. Tap chisel with small hammer. Tap in counter-clockwise direction. Last option: Grind off screw heads and pull handles out. Spay threads and let set. Repeat spray, then take vice grips and wooden faced vice and try to slowly remove screws. Worst case option: Drill out screws with a left handed bit and soak with wd40. Carefully use an easy-out. May have to re-tap holes after to clear threads. </p><p>Hopefully Option 1 works. Patience is crucial, don't rush it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
