I followed the Factory Service Manual method,and got nowwhere.I tried the impact screwdriver,the air chisel,the heating and cooling cycle with a torch.I used 4 different penetrating fluids.I even tried the Vulcan mind screwdriver and the Jedi Warrior Laser sword.I finaly cleaned the surface with a grinder and MIG welded a washer on the head of the screw.I then welded a nut on the washer and used a wrench to undo the whole mess.I have had to do this to every screw on each drum on the truck.I replaced the mild steel screws with Stainless Steel socket head screws.A little Never-Seize and an Allen wrench,and the screws come out nicely.
