Here again I'll have to agree with Trevor.
Yes you can break the screws loose with a flat steel rod.
But for about $15 you can get one of the most useful tools for working
on a LBC.
the beauty of most of the better Impact tools on the market is the drive
end is a 3/8 square drive, thus making it a great device for moveing
reluctant bolts/nuts, though admitedly, not as effecient as it is on
screws, Phillips and Pozi-drive.
Try it, you'll like it.
