Re: [FWDLK] front bumper removal

[Lou <email4lou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Seems to me that bumper bolts are easy enough to come by that I'd just 
cut it off and eliminate teh hassle. (or is there a special,rare 
concours-correct bumper bolt for FL cars? :-)    The REAL problem is 
"why is it spinning?"  if the square hole in the bumper has worn out, 
you might have trouble when re-attaching the bumper.  If the bolt's 
square shaft has worn/rounded, well, then I propose it was time to 
replace that bolt anyways.
