[6pack] Screw extraction

[im sloane]

I'm kinda liking the 'just leave them off' suggestion. Anybody done this or
know if it would harm anything?

It is probably heresy, but I think the brake drum screws could even be left
off without causing a problem. American cars of a vintage that had drum brakes
came with a retainer plate whose only purpose was to keep the brake drum from
falling off as the car went down the assembly line until the wheels were
attached.

Got to love a very simple trick that works! Got the 2nd stuck screw out
easy-peisy with Patrick's handy trick. Too bad I had already drilled out the
1st one.
It would be great to have replacement screws for these with a hex
head instead
of a flat slot. Any suggestions?
Thanks Patrick!

Sloane,Old machinist trick that
works great. Use a center punch at the outer
edges of the screw. Set the point
of the punch in the slot on the outer edge
and tap in the counter clockwise
direction to move the screw. Do this on BOTH
sides and it should back right
out. This has been a never fail for me. Good
Luck. Cheers
