Help Removing Stuck Screws

[ducki]

Hey, I'm currently trying to remove my factory tv on top of the dash to replace it with the triple gauge.. but seem to have a problem. 2 screws is stuck at the moment and i can't do anything further so any help on how to remove these annoying screws?

I'm scared to use penetration liquid cause it might damage the stuff around it... not too sure but here are the pics.

its where the red arrow is showing.

and close up.

thanks.

You could use a fatter headed screwdriver, or put a screwdriver on the screw and tap it with a hammer, that is if you have enough room to swing one.

I had a simmilar issue with my fuel reg, one of the botls was on soooo tight, i made a mess of the head, got my dremel, put a nice slot in the top for a flat head screwdriver and no problems, give that a go, it works well.

Yeah first up get the biggest screwdriver you can fit on there, hold it nice and straight into the screw, then wack it with a hammer to seat the screwdriver nicely, and to crack the thread a bit.

If that doesn't work you have all sorts of nasty options like cutting a stright into the head like wogsrus said or drilling the whole thing out.

or borrow an impact driver if you have enough room to use it.

you should be able to use the hammer trick on the front 1, but the back 1 will be a bit tight. i'd suggest a stubby screw driver (short 1) for the back 1.
