Favorite technique for removing rusted screws??
Use a chisel to put a V shaped slot in the edge of the screw. Now put a
punch in the
slot on a tangent to the screw head and tap it with a hammer to turn the
screw.

I'm disassembling an alerion and am running into a lot of small steel
round headed screws that attach aluminum sheet to steel tube.
Before attempting to remove these screws, I apply PB Blaster and let
them sit 24hrs. then I ensure the screwdriver slot is clean. Then
sometimes the screw backs out nicely; other times the screwdriver
slips out, beginning the process of rounding the head.
Does anyone have a series of steps they'd care to share on removing
rusted screws? - Mike
