Screws on Radio Mounting Bracket...help...

Post by rightandtight »

So I'm installing an STi CD changer. I have the radio out and I need to remove the two screws on each side of the radio that hold on the mounting bracket. For the life of me, I cannot get these things out.

I've hit them with two shots of PB Blaster and no dice. I'm right on the verge of stripping them out.

Any suggestions so I can wrap it up tonight??

cut a deep notch in them with a dremel cutoff wheel for a flathead screwdriver, then use a short screwdriver that you can put a wrench on.
