Trying to remove iacv to clean it however the screws are stuck and the heads rounded off. Any got any ideas how I can get the screws out?

Thanks
 
If you can get in with a hacksaw blade or a small hacksaw, you can slot the heads of the screws and use a flat blade to remove them. Just use plenty of WD to help ease them out. Hopefully this helps ;)

Just to add to this, wd40 is rubbish compared to a proper penetrating fluid like plus gas or similar.

It honestly makes the world of difference when you need it. So soak them up, cut a slot and hopefully they'll come out nice and easily.
