Need help dealing with rusty screws.

Postby ZeldaTheSwordsman » Sun Jul 29, 2018 2:11 am

Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
So, I got my hands on a spare Ultra Magnus trailer for my homemade Powered Convoy custom. But I've hit a snag during the dismantling process. Two of the screws in one of his elbow joints are badly rusted and completely refuse to turn. I've scrubbed a bunch of a rust off the top of them with Coke, but I can't seem to get any more of it off and they still won't budge. Does anyone have any advice on loosening them up?
WANT:
* Cybertron Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Cyb Jetfire R gun and missile
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* DotM Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* ROTF Jetfire R JTFR panel

Di Bonaventura is not a credible or trustworthy source. And most fans do like the diversity push, thanks.

WD-40, worst case scenario, drill them out.

They also have other sizes and styles if that one won't work.
Don't get butthurt when you get called out for expressing closed/small/narrow minded opinions. Educate yourself and form a better opinion.

Sorry for the late reply and hopefully you have already fixed the issue, but just in case I thought I would mention this.
One time I had an issue with some rusty screws and I used peroxide, and it took the rust right off. Grated I didn't have to remove them but it might work. Peroxide is at least cheap enough to try out.
