How do you remove self-tapping screws from RV frame?
----------------------------------------------------
Very simple answer, if the metal is over 10 ga, You DON'T !
If I absolutely had to, I'd spot heat the screw red hot w/ a torch, let it cool kinda slow, which will anneal it.....making it drillable.
Or cooling it fast, will shrink it, and it mite remove easily.
And now all the raving can start about what the heating may do to the frame......:R
