RE: [DML] Tail light cover screws

["DELIOS, Greg" <greg.delios@xxxx>]

Hi all,
just my 2 cents worth on this one. Before I'd start cutting or drilling, I
would certainly go for WD-40 or similar in an attempt to loosen the screw.
Another option to try as an adjunct would be isopropyl alcohol. IPA does
dissolve some metal oxides, and it may be enough to loosen the screw for
you.

Remember let them soak for a day to get best effect. With the IPA, you need
to keep applying it as it evaporates.

Just my thoughts,
Cheers,
Greg

Go to your local hardware or tool outlet and get a reverse cutting drill
bit, 
a little smaller than the size of the tail light screws. Since these are 
Philips head screws they will start in the center. Almost all of the time
the 
screw will come loose before drilling thru it. Works great on broken bolts 
also, does take a drill that will run in reverse.
