any tips on spinning nut/bolt removal on 240 headlight??? 200 1986

I have successfully rebuilt the cheap plastic mount for the clip that holds the adjuster nut in.

Two years ago, my wife clipped an owl at night and the left euro light (86 245) was loose.

The plastic socket for the "safety pin" clip was broken.

My secret weapon for my volvos has been marine grade resin and fiberglass matting.

I built up a clump of fiberglass matting and resin, large enought tobe drilled, small enough to allow the clip to function.

Then I redrilled the socket hole for the adjsuting screw. The slot for the clip was cut in with a hack saw - I did not own a dremel tool at the time.

Two years later - hot summers, -40 in the winter, nad no problemo.

I also rebuilt the broken left signal/park lens using the fiberglass matting. Looks good from a distance.
