Those two flat head screws you were so nonchalant about having pulled out at the very beginning of the video are what are giving me the most trouble. I'm actually headed down to my shop right now to build some sort of homemade extra large flat head screwdriver to get them out.

If all else fails just weld a 5/16 hex bolt to the head and use a socket. If you have an impact driver that you hit with a hammer that might also work.

@@Resto-Rat I ended up taking an old lawnmower blade, cutting and grinding it down to the size I need it and it broke them loose!
