Help with 1 stinkin screw.

Need to replace the glass gaskets on the wood stove. Out of eleven, one is not budging. Seafoam deep creep worked on the others, any ideas?

You might try a little brake cleaner. It will soften and break carbon buildup free.

acetone and transmission fluid 50-50. It has been tested as best of all the rusted things removers!

Propane torch, heat the area around the screw a bit.

Go figure, the turbo torch orifice has been plugged, by bugs. This will have to go though a burn cycle tonight and worked on tommorrow.

Propane torch, heat the area around the screw a bit.

and then put a candle around the thread. The heat will pull the wax into the threads.

Tried everything mentioned so far, still no luck. I am going to break something and then we are sol...
I think this should be a summer project.

If you can get the door off, put a nut over the head of that screw and weld it up. the heat will break it free....

if no welder, how about dry ice on the screw?

vice grips on the head of the screw?

drill the sucker out and don't replace it? or drill it out and run new threads...
