944 Tech. Tip 21 - Rusty Screws


I have an problem with my front right indicator - the bulb has gone and one of the three bolts fixing the trim has rusted solid (the two that hold the orange cover are fine). It's had over 24 hours since I drowned it in WD40, but no change. Does anyone know a way of removing this bolt that doesn't involve taking a drill to the front of my car ?
A more useful liquid is 'Plus-Gas' (If I remember correctly, available from Halfords & Auto Factors) I remember this being very useful at un-seizing anything that WD40 could not. It still needs an overnight soak, but seems to get into the threads of nuts and bolts better - Andrew S - 5th July, 2000
