Perhaps your perspective changes on the day that J C Penney mails out its

P. S. HELP! I need some sheet metal advice from the list. A couple of
days ago I set about replacing the solenoid on the '74 Midget. The old one
had a rusty post, and the sheet metal screws holding the unit in place had
become stuck. One of them I was able to remove, but the other was
completely frozen. I went out and purchased a hardened drill bit, and a set
of left-handed screw removers, but succeeded only in drilling through the
screw through its axis! The head of the screw is still stuck! Now I know
how to remove it roughly (thus damaging the engine bay). Any ideas on how
to remove such a bolt cleanly? Its stripped and has a hole through its
vertical axis. I'm not kidding. I can't understand why its not just
falling out. Despite how I chewed up the threading, I can barely get it to
move in either direction.
