Rusted Screw Removal

[Richard Garcia]

What is the best-way to remove this rusted screw from my Weber Smoky Joe Disk?

Hey Richard, Id try soaking it in some CLR and then maybe dremmel a line across the head and try and work it out with a big flat head screwdriver?

If all else fails, heat it up, slam a block of paraffin over the nut end and hold it for a few seconds. I had an Aussie mechanic working for me that showed me that hack. If it works on exhaust manifold bolts, it'll work on anything.

That's a rivet, no?
You need to drill it out with a 1/8 or 3/16" HS metal bit and replace with same or a nut and bolt.

Thanx to you and the other Forum Members for these great tips and yes it is a rivet.
