Funny and stupid...

I can't take my liscense plate cover off my front bumper... it's 3 allen bolts and no allen can seem to get it off... not even any allen sockets on a rachet... This is stupid and annoying now.

I ended up welding bolts to the heads of the allen bolts and unscrewing that way. I still snapped two bolts though.

RE: Funny and stupid...

haha thats a real unique way of doing it.. I wouldn't have thought of that at all.. I probably would have snapped the plastic to saw or drill off the screws or even just straight drill it.
