In trying to remove my tail light I am stumped. It would appear that there is screw (phillips head) on the bottom that holds it to the body. I am guessing the screw is rusted solid but would love to know just how it is made prior to applying descructive force to it. Anybody know? I think 57 and 58 are the same as 59.

Here's 57-58 tail lights, 59 should be the same.
The chrome base has two threaded studs that mount to the body of the car. There should be a 3/8in nut on each.
To remove the lens from the chrome base, there's two 1/4in slotted bolts.
