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.

got 'em last night night.

i got another lesson in "you get what you pay for"...my buddy had a snap-on #2 that fit perfectly and turned the screws right out.

my head unit looks good, i'll take some pics
