I've been trying to get the screw under the trunk latch of my I/S out, the sumbich ain't moving!  Tried  the regular screw driver, didn't work.  Tried heating the nut beforehand, didn't work.  Tried grinding a bigger slot in the head so i could get a BMF screwdriver in there, no luck.  Tried grinding the sides of the screw down so I could get a wrench on there, didn't work either.  Seems like that thing is welded in there   

So how do I get this POS out of there short of grinding the whole head down?

Thanks,
Barend

Take a pic and post it here - I think I know which screw you're talking about, and it may be the one that caused me grief, but not quite sure.

Try heating the nut and as soon as you remove the heat apply a birthday candle or crayon to the edge where the nut meets the threads.  Remove as planned.
