removing screws with stripped heads
Hi all, trying to remove the screws for the injector hats. They are so corroded and set on there that I started to strip the heads. I thought about drilling them out but I'm afraid of screwing up the threads, especially with such a tiny screw. Anything else you guys can recommend to get them out? Thanks

I took mine out with pliers.

I tried something similar to this to remove a stripped out hex bolt on my throttle body. I used a 3/8" bolt & JB Weld. When I tried to break the bolt loose, the 3/8" bolt just unscrewed from the JB Weld.

IF the fuel rail is that rusted and corroded, then just throw it away. grind the screw heads off and pop the caps off. Get the injectors out, then get another fuel rail from a junkyard. use a good quality screwdriver (Klein, Snap On, Matco, etc. Better than crapsman) with a new tip on it so you don't mess up the threads on the new one.

That would be nice if they were talking about a hex head screw or bolt, but they're talking about a small phillips screw. not gonna work there. especially not when you're working near fuel injectors. I'm not taking a hammer near a $150 injector.
