Default how do you remove the FRST bodykit screws? pics.

my car is going in for some spraying work on saturday this week and some of the screws have come out ok but some just keep spinning and spinning. i dont want to snap them off to be honest. or can i buy a new stud kit from ford so i can put new studs back in if i break them off? :x

If its only one or two then break them off. use a dab of sikaflex next the bolt where it sits against the paitwork then it won't come off and will still be easy to remove.

Sounds to me like it has broken the stud inside the arch and is spinning and not moving due to the others still being attatched.

I cut the wing on my 2i to get them off, though I am replacing the wings due to rust so this isn't much help Ive left the bits of metal attached to the kit at the moment which I'll have to deal with at a later date.

You have to break them off with hammer, chizzle then re-stud them, theirs a guide on ft.com to do it, i have done my front ones, bitch to line up though.
