Stus-List Re: Screw removal

[Charlie Nelson via CnC-List]

+1 on drilling out the screws and remounting the bracket slightly up or down 
from its original position--why go to all the trouble of using the old holes?
IMHO, we DIYers (myself included!) spend way too much time/money/energy trying 
to save/rejuvenate/repair something that is quicker/cheaper/easier to 
replace/move/improve with something better. 
I recently spent the better part of an afternoon trying to replace a single 
handle faucet in my kitchen. As usual, I was determined to get the old one out 
in one piece even though the washer was shot and the spigot handle was not 
obviously removable and I had a new $70 replacement with its instructions as a 
guide.
I got everything loose, working on my back inside the below sink cabinet but 
without an assistant, I could not get the old fittings through the hole in our 
granite sink top.
Got out the hacksaw, cut thru one of the old copper tubes so I could deal with 
1 copper tube and the hose only and everything came out the top with ease. 
Installed the new faucet, tightened up everything so there were no leaks and, 
easy-peasey, the job was done--but not until I wasted about 2 hours trying to 
get out the old one without damaging it and for what--it was shot anyway and 
went straight to the garbage, which was where it was going with or without all 
its original fittings!!

I stick the stainless screws into a tub of Lanacote before assembly into 
aluminum and avoid corrosion.  The same $7 tub has served for eighteen years.  
I keep one on the boat and another at home.  It's now $12 but far cheaper than 
TefGel.

[dwight veinot via CnC-List]

This is a spreader attachment to the mast. If the screws are Phillips or
Robertson heads use the centres to drill the ss scree out get a real good
bit. You’re gonna have to clean up the treads with a tap so might as well
drill a little bigger to get fresh metal then tap to a bigger fastener. Not
that hard and you can then use gobs of anti seize when you reinstall  won’t
matter the next owner 30 years latter will have to deal with what you’re
dealing with now

Thinking outside of the box --

Might it be possible to mock up a pattern around the bases, with fiberglass
or thinish aluminum, drill it and send it to the supplier -- even cut off
the inner-ends of the old spreaders -- so he can use that to measure for
the holes in the new rather than deal with removing such well-attached
bases?

Just a thought,

If those are stainless steel screws in Aluminum without any protection, they've 
likely welded/corroded
themselves to the aluminum.  You will likely only get them out with a drill.  
You will then 
have to re-tap the holes, or use a threaded insert to remount your spreader.  
If you do get them
off, when you put new in use a lot of never seize compound or teflon to 
separate the two materials.

You might get lucky if you just drill the heads off the screws to get a vice 
grip on them for more 
power.  I've never had much luck with them tho.

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

SS screws in aluminum are probably now fused togetherno amount of 
penetrating oil will loosen them.   Drilling them out and tap new treads 
after is one option.  An impact driver is another optionyou might 
get lucky with the impact driver and not have to tap new treads but I 
wouldn't count on that ...the impact driver may also break the screws as 
they are fused to the aluminum.


I took a stanchion and stanchion base off last year using an impact 
driver but a few of the screws broke off, had to be drilled out and new 
treads.  Luckily for me a fellow club member who is also a machinist 
(retired) did the latter part.

I've got to agree with Jeff on this one,  though certainly try soaking the
screws in penetrating oil, applying heat to the surrounding area and using
an impact hammer.  Realistically,  they are probably fused.

Hello

I am in the process of ordering new spreaders and the supplier asked 
to send the old bases so the holes can be properly aligned.


The spreader bases are attached by screws.  I have soaked with 
penetrating oil this evening and will soak over night.  I will bring a 
torch over tomorrow.   Any other suggestions would be appreciated.  I 
would prefer not to have to drill them out.
