Default Help Installing billet grille

I got a billet grille and went to install it today, but I cant get the 6 bolts outta the top of the honeycomb grille, they just keep spinnin. The 4 from the brackets that go into the hood came out easy. Does anybody have any tips/tricks on how to get them out?? Thanks

I had the same problem. I locked a pair of vice grips on the end of the screw and turned the the nut with an open end wrench. Once I got the nut close enough to the end I was able to twist off by hand. Hit them first with some PB Blaster and soak for a minute. Good luck. This should work for you.
