I recently moved to PA and now get to take advantage of one of it's few redeeming qualities: being able to legally run without a front license plate. However, I'm stumped on how to remove this bastard:
The hex bolts just seem to spin when using a socket wrench. I tried prying it a bit from behind while using a wrench with no luck either. It's entirely possible that whatever genius installed this at the dealership could have stripped it. It appears to be impossible to reach up behind the mustache since the front bumper bracing is back there.
Am I missing something, or did Subaru really make it necessary to remove the front bumper to uninstall a simple plate bracket? Thanks in advance.
