Tom,
I just went through the same thing with my 42.
I found cutting a slot in the head with a die grinder and using a big slotted
screw driver and plenty of penetrating oil and or CRC' s freeze off worked
about the best
be patient
Mark

Subject: [old-chevy-truck] clutch-head screw removal
HI
Dismanteling interior of 46' pickup interior. Some of you have been there.
Have worked all day and have 7 screws our and three with ruined heads
(cammed out) which I can't get out.
The problem is rust. I am using a fresh clutch head bit in a 1/4 inch drive
ratchet. I don't have enough power in my hands to use a straight driver. I
douse each screw several times with Kroil penitrant. I take it slow and use
as much downward pressure as I can. Some are so frozen that either the bit
starts to twist or the bit cams out ruining the screw head.
I tried Alden Grabit bolt and damage screw extractors to no avail. I tried
drilling but the screw head is really, really hard. I dull a fresh HSS drill
in about 20 seconds.
Should I buy a left hand drill? A carbide drill?
Should I use heat on the screw head?
Should I take a die grinder and carbide bit and grind off the head and
hopefully deal with the remaining stub somehow?
Has anyone here been there - done that?
Tom
