Well guys last two days i am trying to install my seibon carbon fiber trunk, However the damn bolt on the oem trunk is a pain in the a$$. I end up stripping all four bolts, now i can't take the bolts off...i really don't know what to do. In the process i don't wanna end up damaging my oem trunk. Anyways can some one please help.

 

check out sears in the tool dept.they make a socket that takes off rounded or striped out nuts..i dont know the "exact" name for it but just ask someone and they'll point you in the right direction..

 

advice from me =D

yeah. like the other member said. run to sears and ask for "Striped Nut Remover" make sure u buy the more better 1.. dont be cheap and buy the cheap 1. u will see what i mean when u use it... only if u're from chicago. i had help u out haha. i love modding carsssss XD

BTW any 1 from chicago?

 

Thanks guys, actually i did went to sears & bought the whole set. However the way this bolt was design & stripped it was impossible to remove it with any sockets. Therefore had to choose option 2..which is had to break the bolt..yeah i know but, had no choice. Now i gotta run to home depot to buy 4 new sets of bolts.

 

What exactly happened ??? I think those bolts have some paint on them and make it a bitch to take out I havent installed my trunk yet but when I looked at the bolts I knew they might be a problem Post some pix of the install

 

old post, but yeah, when i did a truk swap i rounded off two of those torx screws. they are sooooooooooo soft. heres a cheap and easy way to do it... just use a drill and drill bit. drill off the head.. then just use pliers to unscrew them. and then go to your local infiniti dealer and get the updated stronger screws

 

Get it installed Mohammed?

 

Are you sure you're using the right size torx? Its very esasy to use one size too small. Vise grip is a good friend of rounded-off hardware.

 

Yup once i got them bolts to remove, it was a cake. I love the way it look. will post pics once i get my new wheels.

 

Cant wait !
