Hi, I just removed mine the past weekend and had one of these bolts spin in the captive nut as you mentioned. I tried using a hack saw with no luck. The best thing I used was a bolt cutter to cut the head off the bolt, it worked and thier was no damage caused to the facia by this process. The head broke loose and the bumper slid off with no other problems. I just need to order the new clips which I beleve are worth about 30cents each. Good luck, Stephane Vin2450 Ottawa,Ontario Canada P.S. If you have any other ?'s regarding the above issue feel free to e-mail me svw_coco@xxxx --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sean Mulligan <sean_mulligan@xxxx> wrote: > Does anybody know how to get "stripped" bolts out of > the D's front end?
