Then, use a stud extractor if you can find one that small, or, run a tap the same size as the origional threads down the hole, that should clear the threads. A left handed drill r...

A few thoughts from an engineer who regularly has to do stuff like this... WD40 is better than nothing but a proper penetrating oil like PlusGas works much better at freeing up seized screws. If the threaded hole the screw fits in is accessible from the rear of the assembly, drilling the screw out w...
