Guest DB240z Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I was wondering if there was a way to get the hold 8mm screw that hold the headlight housing to the frame since i snapped a couple of them. On one of the pictures i tried drilling it out but that didn`t seem to work to well. Im open for any suggestions thnx for all your help fellas.

cjames Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Looks like the hole you drilled went crooked on you. I'm guessing those studs are welded in? I'd go from the back side and grind off that head, then see what youre up against. It might just fall out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DB240z Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It was kinda hard to drill straight on a small bolt like that..but ill try on cutting out the head of the bolt from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Use a muffler cut off tool.(abrasive disc). Then nut and bolt it . Tac weld on bolt optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DB240z Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 thanks for the tip guys. i ended up grinding the bolt (threaded part) down even with the flange of the headlight housing and using a cut off wheel to take the head of the stud of then drilling the rest of the bolt that was left out of the flange. ill post pics tomorrow.
