Default How do I replace this emblem?

Giving my car a deep clean and polish and want to remove and replace the L82 emblems on the hood. One nut I can get to but the other is up behind a panel on the hood. I can feel it with my fingers but I don't think I could ever get to it. There's a hole but it's not in line with the other nut. Short of taking the hood apart anybody gat any ideas or solutions?

Unfortunately they are threaded.

Hello Capt. Shark!

I would imagine that a "offset" ratcheting gear-wrench might be able to reach on and remove the nut. Getting it back on will be the tough challenge. That would be my first tool I would try or if that doesn't fit a pair of needle nose pliers with an offset tip would be the second choose.

Best regards,
Chris

You are right, getting it back on will be the challenge. I'll try your suggestions. Thanks.

Did you actually feel the nut or just the stud? It may not have a nut on it. For '72s, the Stingray side emblems were attached with paper-peel adhesive and have no nuts on the studs.

Brother, I owe you a beer....a case There was only the one nut and a pin in the middle. Would that everything could be so simple.
