The last time I removed the shear bolts from a Spitfire it was easy. I just
used a cutoff wheel in a dremel tool and cut a screwdriver slot into the
part sticking out. Use a straight screwdriver to back them out. If you dont
have a dremel tool a hacksaw blade used as a jab saw also works well.

I cringe when I read the factory manual about "backing out the shear
bolts" - any tips?
