Stuck t45 torx screw

[Samberox]

Hi, trying to remove the wing on my 991.1 and have encountered 4 t45 torx screws which i cannot seem to budge. They are not stripped. Not sure what to do. These are the ones that attach the wing to the chassis. Could it be loctite? I tried a heat gun but nothing. I haven’t tried penetrating oil yet.

You'll need a well fitting T45 Torx bit and a good impact driver. Make sure the bit is properly located in the socket head before operating the wrench.

Thanks lancerlot, i am twisting these clockwise like the others is that right?
I have purchased a better wrench, i have the t45 bit, i have wd40 penetrating oil.
These are super tought, i have put a soldering iron on top and nothing. I have a manual impact driver but it needs an 1/4 adapter. This is kicking my ass.
All other screws no problem. These 4 seem impossible. Will try again tomorrow giving the chance for the penetrating oil to do its thing. Otherwise will take it to the opc to fix it. So frustrating. Was looking forward to fixing the latch myself.

Its anti clockwise more than likely, I think your trying to tighten the screws fella, I you go to dealer they will charge you £220 per hour plus vat, That would work out expensive

Clockwise???

Is that a typo error, or are they definitely left-hand threads?

If you have an impact driver that works by a sharp hammer strike on its head, this should move the screw easily. Just make sure it is on the unscrew setting i.e. anti-clockwise.
