Re: Tips on removing spinning bolts on front Fenders..Gah!!

Yes, you'll get it and it may take a while. geezer#99 said drill them out. That may work best for you on that unreachable one. When drilling hold the bolt head and punch it with a center punch to mark the center and slow RPM and steady will drill it out, and use oil on the drill bit. You can work your way up from small sizes to larger and will get it done. If the hack saw isn't going to work drilling will. I had mine off in a couple hours, but I'm slow. It will be better getting it back together with new u-nuts and then you'll be able to take it off any time you want from that point on. I've had mine off and on for various reasons like convenience of working on steering, A/C, and engine. It's not nearly the same pain now the that u-nuts are new again. Reminds me of the time I had drilling the rivets out for the upper ball joints, OMG that was kind of difficult but got it done.
