What’s the best way to remove a rusted screw from a license plate? I’m having trouble getting it out, and I’m worried about damaging the plate. Any tips or tricks for dealing with this situation?
To remove a rusted screw from a license plate without damaging the plate, try applying penetrating oil, heating the screw, using a screw extractor, gripping the screw with vise grips, tapping the screw, using a manual impact driver, or cutting a slot with a hacksaw. Apply steady, even pressure, and consider seeking professional help if needed.
@Jackson_Smith I Think this is helpful 
- Hit it with your best shot (of WD-40): Drench the screw threads with WD-40 and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Gently persuade it: Use the right screwdriver (flathead or Phillips) and apply pressure while turning slowly.
- Tap, tap, tap: If it’s stubborn, a light tap with a hammer on the screwdriver can break the rust’s grip.
