i cant get my dimmer switch unscrewed from the floor i got the right screw off but i cant get the one in between the switch and the kick panel its too small of a spot to use any power tools should i pry it and chisel the screw?

Soak it with penetrating oil, then take a small wire brush to clean out the dirt on it. Use a screw driver, since like you said there is no room for anything else. Just be careful not to bust your knuckles on the kick panel.

don't you hate it when someone says the same thing as you but hits the post reply button seconds before you do?

*sharpie1972* · 01-19-2011, 12:41 AM

Especially when a sweet part is on the line! Sharpie

67chevy1series · 01-19-2011, 12:44 AM

i know i haveent been on as long as you guys but it has happened to me ,you just have to bite the bullet and live with it

**special-K** · 01-19-2011, 08:24 AM

Happens all the time. I type real slow. Lots of times I'll type a reply,just like now,and when I hit the button I see someone already answered. What I hate is when that reply was obviously worded as a response to the one just before and now the reply doesn't fit or seem inappropriate to the poster before me.

Hey Rick,any time you have a tough time with a screw,nut,or bolt it helps to smack it hard and dead-on. I like PB Blaster for a penetrating oil. Tried it once and never looked back. You put that on and let it eat. "Time is your allie Grasshoppa"

*sharpie1972* · 01-19-2011, 09:50 AM
