[QUOTE="txneal, post: 254328, member: 1483"] I have a 1972 Starcraft that has some 2 inch aluminum truss head machine screws going through the transom. I need to remove ten of them, but I can't get a single one to budge. They have phillips heads and they just strip out if I try to turn them. I've sprayed them with penetrating oil, but that seems to have done absolutely no good at all. Anyone know of any tricks for getting aluminum screws and nuts apart? I've tried all 10 of them and not a single one will move at all! I'm thinking that I may end up having to try to cut them off with a dremel and cutting disk. [/QUOTE]
