Use caution when removing shouldered screws!
Was trying something different today which I will post later however I ran into a problem while removing the floor screws. I was using a screwdriver and the screws were tight, very tight. Rounded out one then another, then I used the power drill and got the remaining bolts out. I will be applying loctite to the screws on install. Has anyone else had this problem?
Normal screw  Drilling out  Got the top of the bolt off  whats left  Bolt removed

Re: Use caution when removing shouldered screws!
I found the same thing when getting at the oil filter. I ended up using a cordless impact wrench to get them out and a screw driver when putting them back in.
My question is why were you taking out the floor bolts???

Got an idea to improve our oil change experience. I will post more when I get it done.

Re: Use caution when removing shouldered screws!
Great and I just finished changing the oil Saturday mourning. I looked at cutting a section of the skid plate out and welding tabs to it to make life easier. But I didn't like the idea of cutting the skid plate so I held off.
