Those screws are a pain.   You will probably have to use every trick you =
can think of to get them out.

I use ATF as a penetrating oil.

=20

I believe I did use an impact tool to start them.

The problem here is that all the screws have wear points and the long =
screws are full length threaded.

One of my long screws also had a slight bend.

=20

Use heat, use penetrating oil, use a very good screwdriver that fits =
well and work them slowly out and in as needed; they will turn out.

I had to buy a BSF tap to make the threads good again.

I'm reupholstering the seats this winter.  The big box from SS is due =
soon, so I've been investigating taking things apart. =20

=20

The side cover plates came off easy, and they're already stripped and =
primed.  So the first difficult challenge is getting those large screws =
out.   They won't come free with just standard screwdriver effort.  So =
what have you guys done to get them out?  I've already had Liquid Wrench =
on them for a few hours.

=20

I was thinking of one of those impact tools that you hit with a hammer.  =
Any other ideas out there?
