Spearfish mentions this in his thread as well,


Now, what do you mean they grind down the wheels? did they damage the wheels? I can't believe the service manager allowed his techs to "grind" down a set of rims for no reason or are they totally lying to you and simply removed the bolts?

Sorry man. You're always more than welcome to ask. DO not hesitate to ask. Knowledge is power.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, AK, but I have some good news (for me). lol. Nissan didn't "grind down" the 6th screw. They simply did what you said and unscrewed it. And, yes, I now know that the reason they're there is to keep someone from putting the rear wheels on the front. Unfortunately, due to my lack in forum searching skills, it did end up costing me $97 in labor. Live and learn.

On a lighter note, I did just finish getting my Megan Racing coilovers and Ichiba rear camber kit installed, which makes up for it.
