Trying to get my wing replaced but can't get the last bolt unscrewed, it will turn and turn but not unbolt Sad could it be damaged due to the severity of the dent or am I unbolting incorrectly? Need to take it out one way of the other, I feel like snapping it off right now.. can't put up with it being attached on there anymore.. Sad

When I unbolted the screws of the wing closest to the door, the wing was pulled out at an angle and maybe interfered with the angling of the bolt that won't unscrew.

Any ideas what I can do to get the wing removed? This is shot I took:

 


Thanks again.

Sounds like the captive bit on the underside of that pic has broken. You will need to hold it with some mull grips and it will undo that way.

Could all so try some WD40 on it to help it a long. Be carefull not to snap it.

They always do that from my experience.

The metal square on the end of the bolt just spins in its flimsy plastic housing.

Get a pair of molegrips up in the bumper and get someone else to undo the nut.

I would try and grab the top of the pole with a set of grips to stop it from spinning and then get a spanner on the bolt to loosen it, once its loose you should be able to get it off easier, depending on how rusted it is though the grips might not hold it and you might have to hold it form undeneath (2 person job really)

EDIT: also you could try taking the arch liner out (2 mushroom clips in the arch and two screws on theunderside of the bumper) it doesnt take long and it might make it easier to get to the bottom of it

Please Dont take any of my posts as written fact. They are simply my opinion and although to the best of my knowledge true, the information within them may well be incorrect.

Any work you undertake as a result of my posts is done so at your own risk Smile

What i did was wedge a socket on the square half *underside* hold that tight while turning the bolt on top, the closer you are to getting it off the harder it gets as the bolt starts wanting to go at an angle

This happened to me on my old 206 you really do need two people to get it off, right pain in the a**e. When you put it back in do it upside down so the nut is on the bottom. This will make it easier to get off next time

I can see where this is coming from now, damn manufacturer has really bolted this to an extent... I tried mole grips on the underside and loosen on top but doesn't matter how tight I hold it, it will loose grip... need another set of hands for the job Smile

Thanks all!

I wasn't going to bolt that one back tbh, I'm sure it is secure without it anyway... every bolt rusted is just making me bleed away. Can't wait to get the job done Smile

that sucks. Angle grinder would probably be the easiest option, just cut the crap out of it
