Hey guys, i tried to remove my front clip the other day, but i couldn't get any of the screws holding it on to come loose . what is the best way to remove them? I was thinking I might have to drill them out, and tap new threads in the hole , but is there a better or easier way to remove them?
I guess an impact driver wouldn't work as there's not enough backing on the screws to take the impact. Any help on this would be greatly apreciated

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
Re: removing front clip
Most of the ones in mine came out quite easily. Just had a problem with the ones in the door hinges. So i welded a old socket piece to them and undid them with a ratchet.

Re: removing front clip
For door hinge screws use a chisel, hammer it into the edge to make a small groove and then give it a hit at an angle and it usually loosens them off, all the ones I have done came off like that.
All the other 10mm bolts should come out quite easy, a few might snap though

I just used a impact drive on mine, type you hit with a hammer.

Re: removing front clip
For the non-hex stuff I used alsorts. Some of it could be done. A few I had to drill out or cut the heads off then wind the leftover out with mole grips.
