    Hey guys I'm in the process of removing my damaged drivers side fender and the last bolt I need to remove is very strange and has me stumped.

    please help, I can't drive until I get my new fender on

    X2 it's just a wide flanged pop rivet. 1/8 drill bit will take care of it.

    with a drill bit the same size as that center pin, drill it out.

    make sure the area is clear for the drill bit on the other side. you dont want to drill other stuff.
