Help Removing screws

[russ010]

I've done this on screws that were in the bottom of seats... but never the engine..

I put a little coca-cola on them and let them sit - it was rusted around the top where the head of the screw touched the base of the seat - works like a charm

soak the bolts in pb blaster or any penetrating oil.

wack the top of your screwdriver with a hammer while your trying to turn them. you may need a helper so you can put all your muscle in pushing the screwdriver down while trying to turn it so you dont strip it. usually a few taps with the hammer will break them loose

Bingo. No shop should be without an impact screwdriver. The mechanism in such gives you rotation when you smack it with a hammer. So, the hammer pushing in keeps the bit from slipping out, the hammer smacking sometimes help jar the bolt, hence the impact part, and the twist gives it the leftward twist, thus unscrewing it.

Something similar to the above link is worth it's weight in gold.

Every garage needs one of these. And if memory serves me, they're not very expensive.
