Question:
Hi, I want to purchase a set of these but im having trouble getting the originals off. they are rusted and the whole threads turn instead of just the nut. any ideas?

Expert Reply:
Since the nut on the back of your Square Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light with Reflex Reflector # MC37AB is seized to the bolt I recommend removing the face of the light (the two screws at the front) so you can then secure the bolt on the inside while you loosen up the nut at the back.
You shouldn't have to go through this process when you install the new lights though.
