hello, has anyone had any luck removing badly rusted fork cap nut screws? theres not really any slot left for a screw driver tip to grab. beside that the caps look like they will clean up nice. oh yeah, this is on a 1974 six day (project). thanks

Propane torch until it is hot, hand impact driver and it will come out

thanks for the reply Kip.

You can also clean up the slot with a small grinding wheel to get a better fit for the driver.
