How do I remove a clutch (one way) screw?
Question:
Answers:
Drill the head off (that's where the clutch is). If you need to remove the body of the screw, you can now cut a slot across the top and undo it with a small screwdriver. If it still won't come, you need some "easy-outs". These are tapered taps with a left-handed thread.
Two ways... that I know of.
One, if the head of the screw is exposed, try grabbing it with a pair of vice grips.
The only other way I know of, is to drill it out and re-tap the hole. Those one-way screws are a royal pain.
If the screw is not recessed you can take a hack saw and cut some lines in the head. Once you have the lines in take a screw driver and back it out.
