Hi there,

Are they attached with screws, or bolts, and have you damaged the head trying to remove them?
Can you add a pic of the heads?

Hi there,

With out seeing what you are facing, I feel that you will have to get a small drill and remove the head (drill through the center of the screw, you will have to center pop the head so the drill bit wont walk, just drill deep enough to remove the head, this will at least get the rego plats off, then we can look at removing the rest pd the screw.
