That's my vote too. There just is NOTHING to grip. and if you are not careful you can bend or break the antenna or the housing, it's a pretty fragile part. Plates can always be gotten off with those gray things, you know, the things you use to take (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Hardest Piece to remove? Final Answer
 
This sounds impossible. Perhaps you can split the car in two and then remove the bricks and glue it all together :-) Seriously, the only thing that I can think of will make permanent damage to at least two lego bricks. You need a 2*2 brick and some (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
