Screw stuck in belly pan advice?

Processing61 · 11-03-2019, 05:56 AM

E90 330D 2006 auto.

Was removing the belly pan for the first time and on the last screw, it just keeps spinning. No matter what I try and can’t get the f***ing screw out lol. Any advice on how to get it out? The picture is from under the front of car, towards back of belly pan

If you can, try and get a flat bladed screwdriver under the head of the screw and then try and unscrew it. That often does the job. The firing it's screwed into is probably wrotten.
