R32 FARB fitting - going a bit pooh!

Featured Replies

Finally decided to undertake fitting my front R32 arb. All bolts out except subframe,

But I cannot get the n/s bolt undone on the arb Bush Bracket. grrr.

Keeps turning round. Got a spanner on the back and undid a bit but now nut is a bit jiggered.

Loose enough that I pushed out the bush. But not enough movement to unhitch the bracket at the bottom.

Can't saw bracket and can't get at bolt to saw off.

Any Ideas, Also I suppose a new bolt with a nut fed in at the back to put back together.

Fortunately can wait as not main car now.

not sure there is a nut at the back and it is a welded nut to frame. If you have a knacked bolt thread, chances are you will need to get subframe down to get enough space to get to removing the bolt. I would first try and undo subframe rear bolts slightly and remove front subframe bolts and also undo the steering rack 4 bolts loosely. This might give you enough space to get to ARB bolt and whilst undoing bolt lever up with a flat screwdriver.

Yup mark it bolts straigh into the frame. If its just turning you have got a threaded bolt and prob the frame bit too.

Prob easier just swapping the whole frame. Get all parts needed bar the rack build it up and fit.

Sorry to hear that mate. Not good as you cant even refit it all.
