    Default Bolts connecting intake sensor and airbox will not come loose.

    I can get a grip on them, and I can turn them, but the threads apparently are not catching. The bolts just spin in place, but do not come out. The bolt heads are not stripped.


    How do I get these out?

    Do they have a nut on the back side that's turning? If not you might try to get something under the head and pry on them as you turn them.

    edit.

    Because it's more than 1 screw I bet they have a nut you will have to hold some how. Can you see the back of them?

    There isn't a nut on the back side. I tried using a knife to get under the head, but no luck.
