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!

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.
