Im getting ready to do some bodywork and I need to get the stock spoiler off. I can't get it off with the 10mm socket because the two nuts are all rusted and rounded. I don't want to ruin it in case I can sell it. Any suggestion on getting it off? Also since I made a thread I might as well ask now. Does anyone have a pic of a fc with the middle tail light shaved? TIA!

Ive tried vice grips but they are to big to get into that small space.



I mean **** do I have to go in there with a dremel and try sanding it to fit a socket?
