Hey folks,

I was attempting to take the chrome ring off my '89 240sx headlights and stripped the two lower phillips screws. I haven't even tried the other side yet. What a pain. Any ideas on how to get those two screws out? There is such limited space I cant' get in there with any tools.

I had to use an easy out for screws, it worked like a champ and I just replaced the screws. In case you dont know what an easy out is, its like a drill bit with a reverse drill pattern to dig into the screw while you try and loosen the screw. Here is the kit I have but you can find them anywhere. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog...talog
