I was trying to take my plate off yesterday to put on a new rear piece of vinyl but when i tried taking out the screws the one on the right just kept spinning and spinning. I tried lookin behind the plate at the piece the screw goes into but it looks exactly the same as the left one and that one came out fine. I tried wd40 and that didnt work. Does anyone have any idea how the hell I can get it off

 

Hold that plastic 'anchor' that it screws into. I noticed that they can spin on you while turning the screw.

 

yea I tried, it spun a little bit like a quarter turn but stopped their.. but the screw just kept spinning.

 

The plastic anchor must be stripped out. Break out the pliers and grab hold of the screw head to see if you can pull it out. If not, then the anchor might not be stripped and something else could be the problem. But really, it would have to be one of these two problems, wouldn't it?

 

Sometimes you can get a flat screw driver under the screw head &
use it to lever the screw out while you turn it.

This works to get you past the part thats stripped.

 

Thanks for the tip inTgr8r!! I have the same problem, so I'll try that when I get home.

 

I just normally use my high speed drill and spin the hell out of it.... it usually come off really quick

 

3 options:

1. hammer drill
2. pick axe

if it still wont come out,

3. few ounces of C4 - like duck tape, it fixes everything...

 

for C4 prices PM me..

 

RPG from the skinnies will take it out, lol. c4 should work too!

 

take a pair of pliers, hold the screw and pull while you turn ccw. it should come off.

 

LOL. i had the same problem. the nut in the plastic anchor is spinning. i got some vice grips and smashed down on that plastic anchor.
