So this past weekend, I added subs, dash and rear speakers in my base 6 speaker Bighorn. However, when I attempted to remove the driver side door to upgrade those speakers I ran into an issue trying to remove the left bolt behind the arm rest. It will spin like it is loose then all of a sudden i have to put a bit of pressure on it to make it spin but it will not come out...

Has anyone ran into this, any suggestions on how to get that 10mm bolt removed?

You'll probably have to drill or grind it out. Sounds like the nutsert or clip on the back side has broken loose. Another thing you might try is grabbing the head of the bolt with vise grips and pulling toward you while rotating to the left...this might put enough pressure on the backside to allow you to loosen the bolt

Thanks for the reply, didn't even think about grips (y) will try that and see what happens, thanks again!
