Maybe try to drill it out? Make a small hole, then use a 1 size up bit and slowly back it out? That sucks.

Might be less damaging just changing it out, it would suck for the drill to slip.

anti seize the next one you put on.

If you run out of options, try break a drill bit and put it in your drill backwards so it bites in reverse.

Well, easy out didn't work at all. Wouldn't move the least little bit. Drill and tap I guess. Hopefully people learn from my mistake and use antiseize.

Having seen here the pic of the 2015/2016 antenna ripped out of the fender resulting in $6K damage from going through a car wash I attempted to remove my antenna mast, but felt too much resistance and gave up. I believe a bit of heat from a hair dryer and a spray PB Blaster will do the trick.

Man that sucks. I just installed the OEM tailgate dampener and noticed the bolts seemed pretty tight and it felt like I was tugging on the aluminum pretty hard. Soaked them in PB blaster and they came out like butter.
