we removed ours yesterday from 1984 C&C37 by inserting large phillips screwdriver bit tightly into head of screw, hitting it with a hammer (vertically into the mast) to help break the corrosion seal and at the same time using a vice-grip to apply turning pressure (CCW). It took a long time for my wife and i to get the first one done, but after that with more confidence and rapid hammer hits the next ones did not take so long. Make sure the screwdriver bit is large enough and tightly into the bolt head as you do not want to damage the phillips head or it is game over. Make sure you strike the bit aquarely into the head. suggest you clean off any oil around it to prevent slippage. Good luck! Jeff & Debbie J
