So, in my quest to finish the half door build, I decided to check fitment while I wait on the seals and u nuts I need. They needed some tweaking.
The PO painted them and just went right over the hinges and bolts. I used an impact driver to crack the paint, and this worked on 4 of the 6 hinge bolts.
The other two? Yeah, they're f'd up with stripped heads now. What's the advice here? Start drilling at 5/32s up to 7/32s or 1/4" and pray I don't need to start asking about helicoils next week? Or does an easy out exist to where I can drill the head a hair to get past the paint and back it out that way?
