ok I just received a car from ebay its an RS4 and I think the owner crazy glued the screws on the car.. Some of the are really hard to get out and have stripped a few hexheads. Is there a way to get these out easier?? The reason why I think its crazy glue is because there is some sort of whiteish dust on the threads and on the carbon upperdeck there is a clear epoxy around the washer and screw. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

One of the best way to get it off anything is 100% acetone. I dont know if you can soak it in it but you might get some on there to break the bond to get the bolts loose.

Dont use acetone on a carbon deck it will possibly delaminate the resin from the carbon as far as annodizing I dont think it will hurt it

not gonna bother with the acetone just gonna use my dremel tool and cut slits in the stripped screws. What a pain in the A$$!!! ever heard of someone using crazy glue instead of thread lock?? jeez

Actually I have heard of it, my hobby shop was even recomending it when they were out of threadlock.
