Hiya Folks
« on: 04 June 2007, 19:52:33 »
 ;)Hiya Folks, just got myself an s plate omega elite, and what a beauty this car is. I didnt realise what extras meant till I drove this car home. Anyway, like everyone else, Im looking for inspiration and help to keep me motor on the road. I live in Bognor Regis (well. someone has to!! hee hee) Does anyone have any ideas how I can take off my towbar? Its easy to remove, (8 bolts ) under boot carpet, but I cant shift the bolts. I presume they are torqued. Any ideas would be appreciated, as I want to 'lose it' before my hols at end of June.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum :y

Soak them over several days with Plus Gas, it should help to free the bolts.

Hi Billybob and welcome.  After soaking, try a ring spanner in the boot and a socket from underneath (you may need a helper unless you have gadget arms).  Undo the bolts behind the bumper first to prevent damage when the weight crashes down.  :y
