Hi all

working on the old 505 (1983 STI) ... replacing two front side fenders but can't loosen the front bumper mounting bolt .... it just spins when i turn the nut from the inside.

it's a rounded bolt head, sitting below the surface of the bumper so can't grip it (without destroying the bumper)

don't really want to drill the bolt out because i need them to re-attach.

any tips / hints as to removing the nut appreciated

i've sprayed it with a couple of products. ... no help at this stage

Cheers
 
agreed - the one on the other side snapped easily ...

bit of glue under the panels ... off to M10 to get a heat gun

cheers
