Larry's Shee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Get an impact driver they are like 20 bucks. Probably won't work if phillips is stripped. Cut slot with dremal and use straight slot. Use small cold chisel and make slot. Use small cold chisel, make notch in head of screw (halfway to "edge") walk screw out with chisel cononsider heating case in area of threads.

02Bansheeee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 You could try vice-grips. They usually help me when something like that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have flat heads for them too...and I've backed those bolt out using that method more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Get a large philips screw driver and a hammer. Put the screwdriver in the screw and smack it pretty good one time with a hammer. Then continue to tap on it while you are trying to turn it. You will get them all out that way unless you have stripped them to the point that they are totally round.

sheesfast Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 A big pair of vise grips should bring those out, if a impact driver won't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Use a dremel to cut a flat slot in it. THEN use the impact driver again to get it out. You can get impact drivers from sears and napa. They are cheap for what they can do and how much frustration they prevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 That is exactly what an impact driver does lol. Very true but if you do not have a impact driver then you use a screwdriver as described. I am well aware it does the same thing but every time I go to use my impact driver I can never seem to find the bits so I just do it this way.
