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

I'd be real worried about breaking off the studs with any of the brute force puller options. These things are extremely brittle after 40 years.
I cut the old ones off with a Dremel tool and replaced them with the 914Rubber part. Gary |
