got some chrome door handles for the ute today, everything was going well with removing the trim until i struck the 2 10mm bolts near the door handle. I am absolutely buggered if I can get them to move! Even tried reversing them out with a drill, didnt budge one bit.
Any tricks to these or am I just blessed with a set thats impossible to remove!

I used a ratchet, and just "cracked" it, they were very firm.

haha, no, got the little buggers off this morning. reason i couldnt get them was the one i started on was actually screwed in on an angle, so it didnt want to come out in a hurry. and since i couldnt get that one off i didnt want to move on to the next one!
But once off, the rest is easy as to do. And the result looks great!
