Default removing frozen ST. Stl. screws

Hi maybe you can help....three of the screws is frozen on the traveler
Philips head. What's best heating and if so do I use a heat gun on the
screw head? The traveler is aluminum. I also have a deck organizer
Schafer with frozen flat screw heads into a iron embedded backing
plate.


A hand impact driver from Sears works well if you have something reasonably
solid behind the screws

Craftsman Impact Driver
Sears item #00947641000 Mfr. model #47641

The trick to using this is to not try to make the screw turn much - most
of the impact needs to go into pounding the bit into the screw.
