I am removing my front bumper for paint but am having problems with the 2 studs that are in the headlight mounting bracket, they are stripped. Does anyone have some suggestions for getting the nut off to remove the bumper cover? Thanks.

 

you may have to drill them out or grind the heads? Not sure what it looks like. WIll be taking of mine for paint in the next day or so.

 

Thank you, I was able to work the bumper over the washer on the stud after the stud pulled out if the headlight mount, will probably just drill it through now and put a bolt in

 

sure thing, I am running into this myself right now. I am removing my front bumper. 30 years of never being removed, HAHA, This will be fun!

 

im wanting to pull off the front and rear bumper covers off my gta parts car,any insight?

 

Yeah I have my rear bumper cover, actually the whole bumper too, off right now and it's easy.

Pop all the plastic push-rivets first. If your stud is stripped, my tip is "don't worry about it." Nuts are made harder than studs and bolts for just that reason. Wire brush the stud or wirewheel the stud with a dremel quick then blast that nuts off with the biggest powertool that fits.
