No, Tero, that's the main conference hall in Chez Sancho!I see you have been sent to the play room to play with your drills and stuff. Tv, stuffed toy and part of a kid in the back ground.

Yeah, I couldn´t be bothered taking it off every time I move on. Here are some photos of my solution, just in case anyone has the same problem, i.e. a Tripod Head that won´t come off the tripod (you just drill the hole, insert the bit, and whack it a few times; you can see where the panning-handle broke off on the first attempt):
3LOL! I have tons of the latter!Your right. Brute Force and Freaking Ignorance

I had the same problem, I just had to read through... The freezer did NOT work. I got my drill, and make a hole, put a bolt in it tap it with a hammer and PRESTO! I the old head is free!
Thanks

Congratulations Steve!:t: (The drilling and hammering is fun in a perverse kind of way, no? At least for me....I normally hate DIY.)Gid'day from Canada

There are in fact two silver plates. This is the bottom of a head, and a big screw from the base goes into it. The three screws only prevent the two plates from moving apart once attached.
You need to take a plumber's wrench and turn one of the silver plates. You can take the three screws completely out before that.
BTW the 3 screws have nothing to do with holding the head on.
So...let´s see if I understand this....even if the three grub screws fall out, the head´s not going to accidentally fall off, no?The 3 grub screws do have nothing to do with holding the head on, but they have everything to do with the head not turning off the threaded shaft that does hold the head on.
If those screws are not turned out sufficiently the head will not turn off the column regardless of what you do to it.

Thanks Steve!Hi Sancho, The three screws when they are tightened against the head base, keep the head base from screwing off whilst turning head counterclockwise, if you don't want to use these three screws, just turn head clockwise all the time and follow your head around.
