Cheddarbob · 07-29-2007, 02:13 PM

OK i was trying to take off the stock grill and the damm screws wont come out they just spin around and never come up. What do i do to get them out?

there are clips behind each screw...they provide the threads for the screws you are trying to remove...that is, if I remember how mine was. so you are turning the screw along with the clips so the threads of the screw are not actually turning and allowing the screw to back out. I think thats how mine was. not 100% sure though.

I thought that we had no storage space here. I am currently in a small 1 bdrm apt with a closet for storage space but I still manage to keep my hand tool toolbox here.

Glad you got it anyways!
