I am re-furbing and there is a timber stud full height with screws into party wall (brick) i cannot get the screws to move even slightly using an impact driver or a combi drill or my own delicate hand with screwdriver - any ideas how to get this shifted?

thanks in advance Ed

i was thinking of just crowbar forcing it off!!! thanks

just wondered if there were any tricks of the trade to make it easier...
 
Cut stud above each screw, then use the leverage of the timber as you lift bottom of each cut section .

drill the heads off, remove the timber, get mole grips on the screw shaft, simples...
 
i ended up using a mixture of multi tool behind the stud to cut off the screw and brute force! it worked in the end, thanks for your suggestions :)
