The only way I seem to be able to remove those nuts holding the letters on the grill of the engine lid are to destroy them and in the process break the posts on those letters. Is there a proper/easier way to remove them? TIA

That would be how I have done it in the past....
BUT Be careful to not snap off the "pins" on the letters that the fasteners are affixed to. NOT to hijack this thread..but...are those OEM (and pain in the ass) fasteners available? |
