ste91 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Pissing in the wind here but maybe try some WD40? It works for stiff bolts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liam2368 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 just get a thin flat head screwdriver and get it in the there,once its in go around the side and do the sime,being careful not to cause any damage, should come off a treat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc0 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If WD40 does not help, buy some Coca-Cola. That stuff also works as an WD40(not a joke). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
