Re: [FWDLK] front bumper removal

[John McCann <jmccann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   The carriage bolt will have to be replaced since it is not holding 
enough to take the nut off so just center punch the center of the chrome 
head of it and drill the head off of it. You will probably have to hold it 
with a wrench on the nut to keep it from turning with the drill. If the bolt 
and nut assembly can not be removed from the nut side you might have to use 
a pair of vice grips on the bolt once the bumper is out of the way and 
remove the nut.
