This is getting to be hard work :roll:
Four screws undo from underneath, the two bolts hold the points base on.

Two slotted head screws, and two threaded studs that have the nuts on. The nuts hold the ht lead retaining spring.

Grind a screwdriver so that it fits exactly, give the screw a couple of taps with the screwdriver in the slot before you try to undo it.

The studs can be more difficult, If you lock two nuts together on the stud then give it a couple of taps it should come undone with a spanner.

I have had to drill both screws and studs out.

Good luck
