Help with hood removal
 

Help! Can seem to get the tork bolts out to remove my hood.

I have removed the paint that cover the bolts. Sprayed liberally and still
broke my tork socket! I must be forgetting something. Should I just go to
drilling them out?

I have a 93 YJ.and trying to start a rebuild!!

Should come out with no problem. Nothing special to removing them. Try
soaking them down with PB Blaster from under the hood and let them sit for a
few hours or days whichever you prefer. If that don't work, then you have
no choice but to drill them out.
