Another approach, if you have space, is to use an manual impact wrench. I haven't heard talk of this tool on this list in a long while, so I'll describe it. Maybe it has other names. It's a short (6 inch) shaft that one hits with a hammer to produce a small rotation at the other end. Wonderful for use on those stuck bolts and screws that one needs to both rotate and jam the tool onto the nut or screw. It works really well for those large door jamb screws. Be careful, or you can round out the screw heads if you let off on the pressure before the hit. They usually have a quarter inch hex female end, and you have to be creative with your various sockets and other tool parts, to rig it to use for a hex head socket, but it can be done.

I doubt if I'll be able to get the screw out of the socket! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
