Tail light cover screws

[Les Huckins <jhuckins@xxxx>]

You really don't have a lot of choices with rusted, damaged, screws.
First option is to drill them out with a bit made of harder material
than the screw, carbide, diamond, whatever. Second option is a small
grinding tool such as found on hobby tools like the Dremel line, also
some hardware stores have an interesting array of grinding (and cutting)
bits.. This all takes a steady hand and patience. A third (least
desirable) option is a small sharp chisel, (you may have to grind one
down), It's often possible to chisel a slot in a screw head to remove it
with a standard blade screwdriver but don't go crazy, in this situation
you'll be pounding into plastics, use only is if all else fails. The
material can't be all that hard because it's sure easy to mess up the
head with the called for screw driver. Haven't been there yet so don't
know if you can get behind the assemblies, doubt it, but if so, small
vise grips can be used to back the screws out from the inside.
