An open end wrench on one side to hold it and a socket on the other. :confused:

abounly 11-22-09 05:02 PM

Nope i tried that, it seems that the whole bolt is connected :(

vinh 11-22-09 05:22 PM

looks like you stripped it pretty bad. Use an open ended wrench on the back side and some needle nose pliers to turn the front side.

maybe its just on there really tight. what RichSC said seems like the way.

abounly 11-22-09 06:49 PM

LiCelsior, vinh

I tried that with pliers etc. It didnt work i'll try again once i am free + day light..
I got 2 bolts onto the foglight it seems to stay going at 80mph.
Couldnt get the rest of the bolts since my brother ran into a cone smashing my other fog light+bumper

It is not fully FLUSHED but it works for now.

Thanks for help guys i'll update once i fix it.

Yup.. looks like its stripped..

From your last picture, I would use an open/ended wrench to hold it in place while pushing the bolt out while turning it with a ratchet on the other end.

Good luck.

Vice grips might also do you some good.

abounly 11-22-09 07:11 PM

i also tried vice grips still no go.
Open end wrench i dont have that size :( 8mm i think we lost that size.

Papajorgio 11-22-09 07:20 PM

if you have a dremmel cut a slit into the stripped side to make the bolt a flat head, then hold one side with an 8mm and turn the other side with a flat head driver......

Papajorgio 11-22-09 07:23 PM

if that didnt make any sense im sorry ive had a few:D, just holla for more advise:thumbup:

abounly 11-22-09 07:25 PM
