What is a good way to get the rubber hood bumper screws out? It seems that the factory installed them very tight and have a small amount of surface rust on them...but these screws should come out easy...but they will not. Any good tips to get them out?

If there is any confusion as to what I am referring to they are the front hood bumpers that are located on each front fender.

I've never found them too easy to turn but they likely get set once and then never touched again.   If you can't get them with a big ass screwdriver, you might have to pry off the bumper and use good old vice grips.

Soak the threads well with PB B'Laster, and strike your impact driver firmly. Use the #3 Philips bit.
