James Smith recommended removing the rocker panels to check for rust and I am finally getting around to it, the three flat tip screws on the bottom are not cooperating and I'm resisting taking the vice grips to them, any suggestions? I ordered my new tires today, decided on the Bridgestone Potenzas, they rated very high on Tirerack and fellow enthusiasts gave them a thumbs up, will let you know my impressions after the first 100 miles, which will be at least April unless we have a warm March, which is rare, do I dare say yeah to global warming!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with everything posted above. However, no one mentioned the posibility of the nut breaking. When I removed mine, one of the nuts broke loose. It felt like it was tack welded. Are they? I don't know. But a 1/4" rivenut was a great replacement. The only thing I need to remember is that it is SAE so I have one screw that is SAE to match.
