bushbasher Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 So I was taking my front fender off, And realized I had to take off the bumper to get at the other two bolts in the front. So, I begin working on trying to crack the two nuts for the bumper bracket bolts. After 30 min of trying with every tool in my arsenal, I conclude that I am in fact a complete moron :bday: What did I do wrong? (anybody whos taken off the front bumper should be laughing at my stupidity right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kecksnext Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Dude, You gotta admit that's pretty funny. Now you know. Stick around long enough and someone will post that exact same thing. We were all newbies once. There's still tons I'll learn from stuff like that. I say nice job man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaRube Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Sounds like something I would do. Consider it a good workout and take a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbianchi Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I usually succeed when ever I try something like that, then well its:banghead: :banghead: time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 I did know they were captive nuts before I posted. I managed to get one off, and when I looked at the nut I realized. Thing is I'm not really much of a newbie, I've worked on many vehicles. It just didn't look welded, and I just figured it would be a bitch like all the bolts on my t-wagon were (no I'm not talking about captiive nuts there ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
