but won't move. I am hoping somebody will chime in on this. thank you | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,271 | I use lineman's pliers on those. The jaws width is about perfect for a secure grip. A lot of wiggling and pulling is required to work a rusty one loose.

Not sure if it suppose to get inside the door but mine was making removal that much more challenging. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,002 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,002 | I believe there are a couple of pointy things on it that help hold it in place and make it more difficult to pull out. I recall using a putty knife, an possibly a screwdriver behind that to get mine out. The weatherstrip is in the way also.
