All of the screws that hold the Armor on the Stuart and Grant are captive. ( the nuts are welded in place) 'twould be but a simple task were it otherwise. Likewise that theory would not work on aeroplanes where nearly every screw is into an anchor nut countersunk or otherwise. The P-40 gave me many interesting hours drilling the rusted ones out and replacing anchor nuts. ( though many were reid and prince type screws there were a good many slot types..)
I'll check out the half track but I think the same applies there.
