captainchaos Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 yup tried pushing up on the roof and trying to undo at the same time outcome even noisier spin lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 The only way I can think of is to try and get something behind the head of the bolt to pull it down so you'd have a better chance of undoing it, maybe a small allan key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Eek. Good luck with that Captainchaos. Accidents can happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 well found out that the bolds are on a bracket which can be removed WHEN THE ROOF IS OFF so i have ended up drilling throught bolt and having to order a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kn1ght Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 captainchaos where did you get the new bolt and will it be a full kit with new spring and circlip? as one of mine is a bit worn and the circlip and spring are missing was it one of the front bolts or back ones?

Ric Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 stud remover (the ones with the left handed corkscrew effect) once a small hole is drilled, insert that and remove then some tapping maybe needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
