rust
« on: 04 January 2008, 12:14 »
i just got myself some new licence plates and before they arrive i need some suggestions as to how i can get the old ones off.....
the front screws that hold the plates in are rusted to fook and the heads are worn and pretty much non exsistent! i was thinking maybe pliers but im not sure if the ancient screws will allow that method. has anyone else had this problem?
