    I have three screws that won’t budge.
    The rest came out with minimal effort.

    The top two screws are in little recessed slots, so I have them soaking in penetrating oil. The third is a free floater, so I spray it through out the day.

    I ordered a manual impact driver tool to hopefully jar them loose.

    For your screws – were you able to extract the shanks? Did you need to tap and die new holes?
