#59500, "breaking headlight bolt"




          

Are there really any disadvantages to just flatout breaking the bolt on the bottom of the headlight? cause I was lookin and couldnt find it and I dont really wanna take the whole front bumper off but I heard about bending it? how much of an extension for the ratchet is needed??

this bolt is a bitch....i could get mine off sort of easily because of the aftermarket front end, but it was still a bitch.....ive heard you can just brake the bottom piece of plastic, but i tried and just ripped the whole head light, i glued it back together but i have a friend with a 96 talon that was also taking off the headlights.... it took a while but we were able to get the bolts out without taking the bumper off....its a 10mm wrench/ socket....hope this helps

I would like to add, if you have the blitz front, you are gonna have to take the front off. It is a bitch times 6.
