Trouble removing beauty rings

[Butzy]

Impact drivers are awesome for this

I agree. I have one that I'm not exactly itching to use but it's in my toolbox..

Definitely a tool of last resort.
I never know which direction they are going but it always works hahaha.

It's on my wish list right now, my last one got beaten to hell

They are great for when you are fed up and pissed and want to beat on something

Impact driver. Only way to remove set screws from rotors, should work here no?

You gotta hit it with your purse mate, JK. But really, that is a bit concerning that the level of effort that is being utilized and nothing is budging.

That’s what I was using. I made it through 4 tires without a breaker bar but the last two bolts on the passenger rear are ON there.

Use an impact wrench with a T45 bit.

Use a hammer and bang in the T45 bit in the TP40 fitting and then connect your impact wrench and she will come right out!

Hi guys mabe this information will help you

Make sure you use a Torx Plus bit, not the Standard Torx that is provided in your Bronco kit.

It's not Torx plus bit. 45 regular one.

Thanks for the information!

I was confused as well and I bought both to remove mine. I didn't have any issues with the regular one.

Has anyone ran into problems removing the bolts that hold the beauty ring? I changed 4/5 to a darker color and the last one I attempted had two bolts that would not break. I’m worried I’m on the verge of stripping it. Any suggestions?

What's the update? I need the answer to one of life's most aggravating experiences

If you still can't get it then last hope is take to a machine shop

What sucks is that you buy new vehicles so you don't have to deal with frozen bolts
But that's the way it goes. I see it as a challenge

I understand but there is thread that also says 45 torx and having both for mine, the one that helped me was the regular one.
