This may be a stupid question but what is the best way to undo the bolt on the front spots on my 99 sports pack?
Are the nuts attached to the front panel or will I have to hold them with a spanner? I want to change the rusty brackets...................
There isn't a lot of room to access the nut, so I don't want to try hold it still if I don't need to..............

As standard, the nuts are not held to the front panel. Try getting a spanner on or remove the front bumper (3 nuts)

I have the bumper off (new one to go one), the bolt is VERY very tight and getting to the nuts looks like a night mare. I have soaked them with WD40 so fingers crossed tomorrow is fuitfull........
