Just get a drill bit that is just barely big enough to drill out the center. It may spin so hold one side with pilers you should have better luck.

with my case it was riveted and spot welded soo i ended up demoloshing the back piece and made it out of pexiglass. but yeh just drill the holes a lil bigger than u have and it should pretty much fall apart....just watch out for the spotwelding if it was...

well, number one, go to school and learn your spelling and grammar

, number 2, get a drill bit to drill them out... its different for every case so i couldnt just tell you the drill bit size

i drilled mine out with a drill bit that was almost the exact same size as the hole they were going through, worked great

Typically, an 1/8th inch bit will do the trick, don't know what size that would be in metric off the top of my head though.

umm...k....that was really uncalled for. even thought i i dont see the point for the excessive use of "woz"

BTW: if you noticed right after he posted this, he made an edit. Notice how he says that he just just a bigger bit. Yah, he got it. I saw this thread when it was created. then two secs later it was edited, he's good.

But for all those out there who need this information. It's covered in the first post.
