Ok, all the screws seem stripped and i cant figure out how to remove the clothes hangers either (if i even have to... to remove these parts..
BTW, if you've seen my other thread . http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=ST&f=2&t=39493 It seems the previous owner/s had decided to paint over some of the rust in the trunk. only a few small holes, i think someone could weld them all up vs install new sheet. I HATE THIS SEAM FILLER!!!!! What is the easiest way to remove it? Heat gun does nothing... hammer and chissel/gasket remover is slow! Chemical? FIRE!? |

The rubber cover just pushes up and off and reveals the phillips head screw that secures the coat hanger to the pillar. |

Twisted wire cup brush on a nice angle grinder or good drill. Makes a mess but it does the trick! |

Agree, wire wheel. Makes a blizzard of a mess, but takes it off fast. I've also used a propane torch and a stout scraper in some areas, but it takes some elbow grease along with the flamage.
Getting the screws out of the rollbar pad can be a headache, but give it some more effort before taking the drill to them. Sometimes you have to fish through old foam down in the holes and it's tough to get a good bite on the screw heads. Hopefully the PO didn't replace the screws with flatheads or something. |

Use a small screw driver to clean out the holes, then a flashlight and a mirror to see the screws. Sometimes you are just missing the slots of the screw head or it is filled up with the foam from inside the trim. Make sure you are using the correct type of screw driver or you wont be able to get it to grip.

A cup brush on an angle grinder. Makes a HELLUVA mess. But it's quick and easy. Wear safety glasses. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
