    Need some advice

    I'm replacing the deck on my trailer and it seems most of the screws holding to the trailer broke off and are stuck. How can I get the broken ones out. I'll try to attach a pic.

    I would grind them off and not replace them at all. Just let the boards float. Put a strip of 1" strap across the front and back.

        Cut them off with a grinder and drill the rest out.

          Self tappers, don't try to reuse the hole. Grind off and drill new holes

              Yep, grind those off and use the torx head self tappers. Work like a charm!

                  Just redid a deck this weekend. Put flat metal on both ends. I did run 2 rows of screws across, one near the front and one near the back. I just like it that way. Helps keep the gaps closed on the boards.
