bignum Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 No the bolts should come out using a decent ratchet with a bar for leverage, remember to grab the nut before it falls off the end of the bolt when undoing, it took me about half an hour to find mine once:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joff Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Access is tight, the range of movement ends up being a quarter turn of the breaker bar I found, but can be done in situ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If the bolts still won't come out, try heating them up. It'll work like a charm, promise. Pretty much all the bolts below my car have seized in. Took me 5 hours to replace 1 wheelstud :/. Then i got myself one of these Came off like a charm. Even replacing break pads or anything that's under neath the car (don't even want to imagen the exaust), is dead hard for me :/. BURN ALL THE BOLTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2soops Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The nut on the back of the bolt should have a tab so it doesn't rotate and you should be able to just undo from the 2 bolts you can see from the wheel arch side. May not be much help though if yours are seized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
