  • Mine were hex head and they would not budge and started to thread. Used a nice sharp flat head screwdriver, angled it behind the screw head and tapped it with a hammer until it came away from the back plate a little. This loosened it just enough to remove with a tight fitting flat head. By amateurd - - 26 October 2011
  • Mine were COMPLETELY corroded and I tried EVERYTHING....... in the end i bought a 'grabit' (I think it's called grabit just google it) and once I'd sussed how to use it (stage 1 needs more omph than i realised) got them out easily By dehowletts - - 18 March 2011
  • I used hex head bit in an impact driver to loosen screw aided by a squirt of WD40. By Fennelli - Shoeburyness, Essex - 26 February 2010
