IS Trunk Spoiler Nut is Stuck

[hamann318is]

I've been trying to remove my rear spoiler, but I'm afraid I tightened the two side nuts too much after taking it off last time. So now I use a 10mm nut-driver which grabs on fine. However, when I try to turn the side nuts, the driver just rotates over the end nuts and nothing happens.

Is there anything I can do to get these off?

you need a deeper nut driver, the bolt is hitting the inside back of the nut driver before it the 6 point (or 12) reaches the nut. get a deeper one.

I'm pretty sure it goes all the way on...

then i guess im wrong, are you sure your using the right size? (8or 10mm i believe)

[hamann318is]

10mm, I've tried forcing a 9mm on, but doesn't work.

I def want to goto metal, but how would you do that, there's not that much room. Drimmell?

Dremel or get a hammer and a large nail-like object, and start hacking.

Dremel would probably work best though :D

Dremmel the shit and get metal ones. The plastic ones are pointless anyways. Good luck with your decision.

hammer a standard size socket onto that fugger

before butching it , try taking a 9mm socket that you don't care about, cherry it up with a propane torch and melt it on, don't try to losen till it cools, hope this helps! .
