[6pack] removing rear drums - stuck screw

[Larry Young]

I just got through removing some horribly rusty slotted screws. First, 
you have to take your time.  Apply penetrating oil twice a day.  Try 
heating them red hot with a torch. Wait for them to cool. I have found 
an impact screw driver can work wonders.  They are not expensive at the 
discount tool stores.  I have also used an impact wrench (with slotted 
screw socket)  set on low.  If it doesn't come lose the first time, 
apply more penetrating oil and try again later. The heat, hammering and 
penetrating oil will eventually work, but it may take a week.
