Posted June 11, 201014 yr How do you guys remove these things? I have been using an impact driver to no avail. All I seem to be doing is destroying the screw heads. I've gotten 3 out of the 8 off, the others just won't budge. It's quite infuriating TBH. Aaron

Aaron impact usually does it with the correct head on try pliers with the serated part over the head. it'll ruin the screws, but their screwed anyways!
