hi, i bought replacement screws for all my hinges, and some of the old ones won't come out. the bonnet screws went on nicely and i'm glad i did it as some of the old screws broke as i was unscrewing them! i know others have posted the same question, and the obvious answer is to drill, but my situation might be a bit different in that i can get excellent grip on the screw heads, i just can't apply enough force to turn them. any tips on how to get more turning force? the screw-driver has a bolt-type of end that i could put a socket on and then work with the wrench, but i can't figure out a way of keeping enough inward pressure to keep the screwdriver in the screw head.
some of the door screws are painted over and some are rusty. i tried tapping the end of the screwdriver with a hammer to loosen up the screw but it didn't seem to do any good. also gave it plenty of WD40 but it's not getting anywhere near the threads so i guess that might also be a dead end. i have titanium coated drill bits which i'm sure can handle the job but i bet it takes ages to drill through a whole screw, and i have lots of them to do :)
thanks in advance. tim
