Been trying to remove my headlights. Book says undo bottom screw push up and out. The screw just turns. How can I remove it? Any tricks? Cheers

The mounting point will have had it's threads stripped / damaged. Last resort is drilling, but that will be a **** if the screw is spinning.
Personally, I'd get a screwdriver bit on an electric drill and spin it backwards at a reasonable speed whilst pulling at the chrome surround at the screw end. The pulling motion on the screw, plus the screw spinning might be enough to draw it out. Obviously you'll want to do some repair on it once apart!

I would try and get some needle nose pliers on the screw head and wiggle the screw out from the surround until you can properly pull it. It should move out little by little with each wiggle.
