Somehow my strut got bent, I think boatyard but no time for blame game, I just want to fix it. I got driveshaft off, and now just have to remove strut. The screws are totally wedged in, I removed bolts on inside and washers (after pic was taken), have tried wiggling screws (one is pretty threaded) and just hitting them with a hammer from inside but they are not going anywhere. I have to replace strut so don't care about damaging it to get it off. Any ideas would be very appreciated. It has been on there for 30 odd years!!
