DJF Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm removing the body panels from the tub, rear wing in particular. I've managed, after a long struggle to release most of the fixing bolts but the one at the top of the wing (near lamp housing) is proving difficult. Both nut and bolt are seized and turning together.... I can't reach the bolt head in the tight area (within the wing/tub void) to hold it whilst I try to undo the nut. Has anyone come across this problem and got any bright ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwifrog Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 New Hacksaw blade between the panels and carefully cut the bolt Cheers Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlfredHitchcock Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The screws are into spire clips on the wing and have probably distorted/rusted over the years. Try putting a flat blade screwdriver under the head of the screw and applying a downwards force as you undo the screw. If that doesnt work apply a bit more force. They should break up pretty easily if rusty. Cheers Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
