I have steel screws, (small, about #8 or 10) severely corroded into a set of aluminum wheels. They are frozen solid and I am starting to strip the screw driver slot. I have poured PB Blaster over them to no avail. The application is such that heat is not a good option. (it's the center cap and a piece of thin gauge sheet metal would shield the piece I would need to heat. Heating the screw would be going the wrong way.) Any good suggestions, short of cutting off the heads and re-drilling and re-tapping? TIA Ken Gano |
