Today i started working on taking the wheel off so that i can try to bang into the front lhs panel.
But i am having trouble undoing the screws inside the guard which are holding the plastic inner guard on.
They seem to be really worn out and not unscrewing some turn although idon't actually undo and the screw head just gets worse and worse from the screwdriver
PLEASE HELP!!!

Use a flathead to apply pressure outwards as you unscrew them and this will help them unscrew. If the heads are rounded out all you and do is make a new flathead slot using a hacksaw and use a big flathead. You might need to buy some new screws..

Grab the head of the "screw" with a pair of pliers and pull. You will pull the screw out with the plastic plug that comes with it. You can re-use them when you re-assemble the car. Take the screw out of the plug, squeeze the four little tongues together and carefully insert the plug into its hole. Make sure all four tongues go through, then push the screw in all the way.
