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

 

Be worth a shot. That plastic will be fragile. A bit of lubrication wouldn't be out of order.

Ok, I might spray a little wd40 on them before i loosen them up

 

If you are going through that much trouble, why not just cut the nut itself? A pack of 10 at Napa is only a few dollars.

 

good luck those studs are the most fragile plastic on the face of the earth lol all but 2 on each louver where in tact on mine after removing them

 

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

 

I am not sure how much more helpful it would be, but try a product that was designed for loosening tight bolts like liquid wrench or PB Blaster.
