Seized torx screws on wheel arch liner

[cupguy]

Need to take my front wheel arch liners out to clean behind and replace. torx screws are likely the original 20 year old ones and are seized and threaded. Unsure if drilling them is a good idea given their location down near the sills, any thoughts on best option?

Grab them with mole grips

Maybe just see what they are like first, before assuming they are fucked? If you use the right tools they will come out. Torx bit in an impact driver and I'm sure they will come out. Failing that vice grips as already suggested. Shouldn't be any need to drill them out if done properly.

Aye mole grips, failing that just cut a slit in them with the grinder and use a flathead

Grind the head off, pull the liner out, use grips to remove the threaded part.

Try tightening them slightly before undoing, normally works

As everyone says above, mole grips, if you can't get them with mole grips, buy new mole grips.

Whatever you try it'll probably shear off anyway and leave nothing to grab while it's at it... the b******s 😂
