i'm trying to take off that plastic POS that lies right underneath the front bumper. the plastic slit looking thing. and well i got half of the screws off except for 2! they are screwed in there like crazy glue to your skin. ive tried for like 20 minutes to loosen them but they won't budge! how do i get these guys off?! my hands hurt, i was trying so hard.
any helpful hints are appreciated!

wd-40

 

i dont have any right now. :-(
anything else i can use for the time being?
i just might have to go get me some wd-40 though.
thanks

 

go get some

i live in the boonies in mississippi and can find some in 5 mins

 

haha, im going to get some right now. i just have to screw all the stuff i took out... back in. and i dont wanna.
thanks.

 

Liquid wrench would be better, but wd-40 is ok. Make sure you have the correct size screwdriver -- not one that is too big, and wear some work gloves so you can exert more force pushing and turning. They usually come right off.

 

yeah. i tried that already. :-/ no good. its in such a hard to reach place that exerting force is so hard. almost impossible. so im gonna try the wd-40.
hope it works.

 

pb blaster is better than both but there's only a little difference.
A freind got some stuff from a local industrial supplier called Free All that works very well. it's a thicker liquid than most penetrating oil.

 

yes PB Blaster is the best hands down, gotta give it soaking time though.

 

ok well i got that damn piece off finally. after 1 and 1/2 hours of messing with it. but the wd 40 did the trick!! thanks guys!!
