How to unstick rusted screw and washer?

I have a 2006 honda crv. I'm in the process of removing the air filter housing and i realize that one screw and washer are rusted together, not even budging. Because of this, i have in turn tried everything to get it out and it is stripped. Why honda put screws in a housing is beyond me. All of them are rusted. This one is just horrible. Tips? I do not want to drill it because i do not want to damage my housing.

You can soak the screw and washer with penetrating oil, like WD 40. Or you can try an "easy out". They are drill bits with reverse twists. You have to have a drill that has a reverse option.

Did you use PB Blaster? Works great on rusty bolts and screws, just spray and allow it to penetrate. Hope this helps.

  • 2006 Honda Odyssey windshield washer fluid not spraying? Sprayers are not spraying in the front or the rear. One pump runs both ends. I can hear the pump kick on. Pulled a hose off one side of the pump and had someone activate the pump. Pump sprays without the hose hooked up. I don't see any krimped areas in the hose that I can see (front sprayers). Any ideas? Could the pump just be too week to spray through the hoses? Ps I unplugged a hose under the hood and still no fluid.
