I had a major problem with the clutchhead screws when I started trying to
take off the weatherstripping around my driver's side door. (The '47 AD has
the weatherstripping held in place by a metal strip....held on with about 20
clutchhead screws!) Finally resorted to holding an old screwdriver against
the screw heads and pounding on the screwdriver with a hammer. As NMJim
says, this jars the screws loose. I then used a small pair of vice-grips to
turn the screws and take them out.
