I have a gas grill that's been flaring up and I finally figured out the issue. I've bought new burners, but I'm stuck on getting the old ones out because the screws won't budge. I'm not super handy, and I have some trouble with upper body strength, so I'm not sure if it's just me or if I'm doing it wrong. Any advice on how to remove these screws? I've attached a couple of images showing the problem!

Make sure you're using a socket wrench instead of a screwdriver for these screws. It'll give you a better grip and more torque. If you don’t have one, you might want to grab one that fits! Good luck!
In addition to some penetrating oil, using a #2 Phillips screwdriver could help if the screw heads are that size. Just make sure to apply steady pressure without stripping the screws. Good luck!
Try applying some penetrating oil, like WD-40 or PB Blaster, to the base of the screw heads. Let it soak for a bit before trying to unscrew them—it really helps loosen them up! You might also want to use a 1/4 inch nut driver if you have one; they can fit better sometimes.
I'll see if I have one that size. Thanks!
