Can't Remove Front Fascia due to Stripped Bolt - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

When I put in my T2 ports, I had a heck of time getting mine off also. Putting them back in was another pain, so I only put in 2 of the 3 and it is just fine with 2 bolts.

Make sure every other clip/bolt is out though first.

x2, I'd try that, before resorting to more extreme means.

Also try putting something behind it like a screwdriver while turning it with a ratchet. Or cut it off as already stated.

Just picked up a dremel off craigslist for $20. I'll be taking another stab (or cut) at the bolt tonight

After an hour long battle, and the use of both dremel and chisel, victory is mine.

. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice, couldn't have done it without all of you
