The best way to remove these bolts is to loosen it a little the tighten loosen more tighten and so on it helps keep the loctite from jamming up in the threads plus it will chew it up so to speak and make it easier to remove.

As far as tamper poof or not if he didn't have the tamper proof he wouldn't get on it.:hello:

This may be a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyway. How do you remove the front plastic (with the Z on it)? Does it just pop off?

That's part of the airbag assembly. It simply pulls out afteR you remove the two torx bolts and unplug th airbag sensors.

Did you use the tamper proof torx bit? I soaked my screws with penetrating oil for about 15 minutes and used the tamper proof bits. Came out pretty easily.

Nice write-up.

Mr&Mrs 02-01-2012 06:40 PM

Thanks 6MT

Calvin you will probably have to try an easy out if that does not work a good ole drill and tap set will be needed.

I had the same problem trying it by hand at first so I used a drill just to bump it hard once and they broke loose.
