Argggg can't remove the xbrace

Post by gforceuk »

Am I going mad. Trying to remove the two bolts over the wheels holding the x-brace on and it's not budging.

I've tried wd40 but nothing . Anyone else had this problem

The nuts or the brace?

WD40 won't help, you need Plusgas or similar penetrating fluid. Must admit I've never had any issues undoing any of those nuts on any of the god-knows-how-many Roadsters I've worked on over the years.

Cheers. That stuff and a mallet on the end of a spanner did the trick
