370Z Rear Black / Dummy Fog Light Plug Removal Help
 

I can't get the two 10mm nuts off the back... The freaking Loctite is making it impossible to get the nuts off. They just keep spinning with the screw... I don't know what to do... Went to a few different tool stores and no one knows how to remove it... There simply isn't enough room to work on it in the first place because the exhaust is in the way also... I really need help with this ASAP so I can get my fog installed... Thanks in advance!

You may need to drill the lens of the dummy light with a butterfly bit?

You need to gain access the head of the bolts so you can use needle nose pliers or something to keep them from spinning while trying to loosen the nut.

This is not unusual since they sometimes use too much Locktite at the factory.

Good Luck!!

I never has this problem, I used 2 open head box wrench and they came off pretty easy. That shield thing in the way needs to come off for sure then it was easy

:iagree:

Easiest thing to do is hook yourself up with an F.I. exhaust that will free up tons of space to access the blank. :tup:

But seriously though, did you at least try any sort of lubricant to loosen the bolts? WD40, PB Blaster, etc?

If he's saying it's already spinning? He's probably already screwed :ugh2:

I'm gonna have to try something like this I guess...

Soaked it in WD-40 for about 30 mins before starting... Did nothing...

Another idea might be to tighten it, and then over tighten it, perhaps going in the opposite direction might help some of the loctite break free, then loosen extremely slowly to help separate the bolt/nut...

:confused:
