Delboy52 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm intending to replace the stick on number plate I have at the moment and I noticed when lining up the plate holder that there is some old screw spindle lodged into the smaller holes in the bumper. Seems the heads have been cut off at some point before I've owned this. What's the best way to get the spindles out? Drill them out? Bumper removal?

Guest Rsand85 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 should be able to drill that out and re-tap without to much bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Looks like there's a thread of a bolt snapped off in there! Should be a fixed nut behind the bumper so need to drill a hole in the broken bolt and get it out with an 'easy out' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Why don't you just stick the new plate on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 That would be the easiest thing to do, but I want to use the plate holder. Will have a go at using the extractors first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
