Non Dzus stanchions. Been on there for 64 years! What is the best way to free up the hold down screws? It looks like a PO has already bodged the slots in the screw heads so it may be hard to get a large screw driver to fit there. Any ideas.:unsure:
 
Kroil penetrating oil is my favorite.
Soak from front and under dash.Get screw driver that fits perfect even if you have to grind a large one to best fit.
Shock.Give the screw driver some sharp blows.Lastly some heat to the mounting plate under the dash.An impact driver may also help.
Good luck

No magic I know of and those things can be difficult. Good suggestions above.
If the screw slots are badly damaged, do the best you can with a dremel or die grinder to get a screwdriver to fit. One advantage of an impact driver is that the screwdrivers that came with mine were wide enough and fit the slot very well.
