GH,
To remove those old rusty screws is tough. The best suggestion I have is
HEAT. You use a torch to hear the head of the screw up to a dull red color
to cause the screw to slightly enlarge. You then let it cool and try to undo
it. In 9 out of 10 cases the screw will easily be removed. In stubborn cases
you need to use an Impact screw driver after the screw has cooled. DO NOT
TRY TO LOOSEN IT WHILE THE HEAD IS STILL DULL RED! If you try, you run the
risk of killing the slot in the head.
