Removing IROC hood louvers for painting
I recently got a mint IROC hood locally for 60$, all of the louver studs are in tact, How can I remove them without breaking a single stud?
I was thinking of tanking a dremel and slotting the bottom of the studs so i can hold the studs with a regular screw driver while i wrench off the nuts..
Any one have other suggestions? Thanks, Trey

Oh yikes... I think Im going to wd40 them a little, let it soak in really good.
Slot the bottoms so I can hold the stud with screwdriver and very slowly take them off
