Default Bought mine (semi-flexible) at walmart....wasn't magnetic, so tape all together and it works fine.

It was just an extension that I taped to the screwdriver and then taped to the bit.

Cost like $4

Default Strange - when I took out the headlight, that thing had no significance whatsoever.

I just had to take out three bolts and it popped out.

Default If you have some "sticky clay"...it will help to keep the bolt from falling into the fender....

that's what my dealer-buddy used.

Maybe a crafts store.....or office supply place would have an equivalent.

Also, you'll probably need to remove the front wheel well liners.

Search the forum...their are lots of pots and tech articles on how to do this.

Good luck!
