Front bumper removal HELP

[lamcote]

So I have eventually started to fit the DRLs.
BUT the bolt for the bumper that is up inside the wheel arch is just spinning round and not unscrewing, whatever it screws into is just turning with the bolt so it's not coming loose at all!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Two hander. Reach around with pliers and grip the plastic plug with one hand and 10mm socket on screw with the other.
If I remember right the screw goes into a plastic push fitting in the wing, you'll need a new one to refit it or you'll have the same problem.

You might find it better to drop the arch liner out of your way.

You could try forcing some mole grips in there to grip the plastic retaining plug to stop it turning.

I used some glue on mine which was enough to stop it turning so I could unscrew it.

Great thanks, I managed to get some pliers in there.

Thanks for the help, as always. Great forum.
