Question

Any ideas guys?

I've located the two bolts that attach the centre section to the backbox, but I can't get 'em undone.....

I've "generously coated my nuts in WD40", then went out to the car about 2 hrs later, but no joy...

Help chaps pleeze....

If WD40 doesn't work then there are 4 options

1 - more leverage, try a long tube over the handle of your spanner.
2 - angle grinder.
3 - oxyacetylene torch.
4 - nut splitter ouch :0

Nut splitters are cheap and available from most good tool shops. Mine is shaped like a ring which fits over the nut. There is a blade on a threaded rod which advances when you turn it with a spanner.

Or pay your local Tyre and exhaust centre a tenner to do it for you.
