I was installing a new hood emblem and ran into some slight difficulties. I did not realize the speed nut is not re-usable and now it's just in a bit of limbo - not tight but also won't come all the way off.

The old emblem came off with no issue, I was surprised when I saw the speed nut but both came off with no issue. I attempted to tighten the new emblem and it will not tighten down, so I tried to take off after reading they are not re-usable. Now it will not come off or tighten up. I've already ordered two new ones but can't get the old ones off and the hole is not vey large.

Do I use some kind of small grabber tool to try and get the old nuts off? Any help is appreciated!

Small grabber works and the nuts can be picked up/dragged with a strong magnet if they get “lost” inside the hood.
