Just removing the front bumper and one of the bolts isn't not coming out. It isn't stuck, it just spins and spins but will not come out of there. The bolt I am talking about is pictured in the left photo below. (thanks team-integra.net).

Any ideas on how to get this out of there?

 

try jamming a flat head punch or screwdriver under the head of the bolt. use pressure while turning bolt and some wd40

 

Its possible someone stripped out the the factory threads and theres a nut on the other side. Have you checked that?

 

I'm thinking that the small bolt is a bitch because your nuts are too small.


-I could be wrong. (just apply upward force like the other guy said).

lmfao ahah, well yeah i had this problem too. I used as much pressure as a could and if possible push it out from the bottom.

 

use an impact driver. The same thing you use on your brake rotors.

As for the bolt...not sure. Try remove all the other fasteners first and if you still can't get the bumper cover off, drill that bolt out.

if it's just the bolt take a wrench and pry it out with force.

 

If i have a problem like that. I get a drill with a bit tad smaller than the head of the bolt and let er rip.

that is what I am about to do...

 

these bolst are easy to strip. make sure to apply enough pressure as you try to turn it. and use thick enough screw driver.. as mentioned.. use some type of rust spray

 

VISEGRIPS FTW!

 

you have to use a pretty big philips head for those. i usually use a hammer and give it a few wacks with the screw driver on it so it have a nice bite in to it. if that dont work go grab the vice grips. i hate those screws alot.

 

drill it out with a small bit and work your way up. drill out old screw and retap

 

this is what you need:



works everytime.
