Then let it cool, they should screw right out. The ones on the bottom were the tough ones to get out. [Reply]  [No Email]

No biggie. New flat head cap screws can come with a hex in them for an allen wrench, so they get a better purchase instead of a slot for a flat balde screw driver.

I have used it several times for that. The only problem is you need the end small enough to match the screw head. I ground the hammer head down to fit the screw. [Reply]  [No Email]

What I am talking about is maybe 6 inches long and you can change the tips so you can use a socket or a screwdriver tip and you hold it in one hand then hit it with a hammer and the action of the hammer makes the thing twist and also due to the hit forces it down so it hold better then a normal screwdriver would [Reply]  [No Email]

A must have tool. Doesn't do you much good if the slot's already totally gone - but it would have avoided that problem had you tried it earlier. Looks like this [Reply]  [No Email]

Then go at them with a proper sized screwdriver blade. How about a impact driver tool? The kind that has a screwdriver bit, and you hit tpo with a hammer? A little heat may help, and of course your favorite snake oil. Have had good luck with propane torch and candle wax on stubborn threaded things. My NH actually uses hex head bolts with no problems with hay snagging, etc. [Reply]  [No Email]

A dull chisel and a good hammer then tap to the side so as to drive it off in the same way a screwdriver would turn it might work. Of course heat can help but be careful due to the hay that may be there [Reply]  [No Email]
