MODS - Might wanna delete this thread, as it has someone's address in it and is no longer required.

If you haven't got the screw out, and don't have an impact driver (handy tool those!), try the setup I needed when changing the rears a while ago.
See pic. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showpos...5&postcount=54 Cheers, GK

exactly same setup we use on our cars, except we use a flathead on the stripped bolts and drive it into the bolt with a hammer, then one person pushes the screwdriver towards the car and the other twists the multi grips.
