[alberg30] Remove step plate

[SutherlandT]

Guy ... When I removed my mast step plate I did not meet as much
resistance as you and joe. When I got the screws removed ( using an
impact driver, solvent , and patients ) the plate itself came off pretty
easily. In your case  someone before you has likely sealed the plate
down with either epoxy or polyurethane. In either event it may help to
apply a little "heat" to the plate. I would play a propane torch
carefully on top of the plate to achieve this. It is my understanding
that polyurethane (3M 5200)  can be softened with heat. You might also
heat a thin bladed putty knife and try and work it under the plate at
the same time.

I think the important thing is to be patient and not  rush anything.
