S2 Fuel pump cradle.... Bolts that hold it to the body of the car are not a prob, although they are just turning, how can I get it off? Can't get the grips in where the wishbones are and it dont have a nut on the end so no spanner....wot do i do? ant the other one is in the boot aint it? Advice..... ?

vroooom ptssssh

coul ddrill em out n replace with new ones

the one in the boot will just keep turning m8 you will have to cut it off other side the nut to free it, the you need a new bit for the boot which has the thread on, i found i had to do the same with the other

Mark,

Was trying to think what that was from the pics....lol now I know. Yup, the boot one wont be suich a prob... I have been looking into the stainless steel jobbie AS do for about 50 sheets. It is a 3 peice jobby and it is a direct replacement I have been told, but I need to use my old flexi joints (rubber bits) I guess the ones on the pump itself, not the bit that fix's to the car ? Well I may well get that and see what I need, if not I suppose I can buy just the bit to bolt to the car as in ur pic mate

Thank's for your help guy's

look ,,weld a large washer inside your boot over the hole left after cutting off the rusty item,(halfords sell em),,then get a nylock nut+bolt through onto the cage rubbers,,for the one on the wishbone side,,,you could try cutting it + drilling out the remaining to replace with a threaded sleeve,,(for a new bolt),or carefully drill a small hole through the bolt,,and slip in a retaining clip,or a split pin,remember to be carefull as its petrol petrol petrol!!

Still having fun with this, what you guys use to cut the bolt...can't get fook all on it?

got medievil on it's ass and went to work with the bolt croppers Let's just say the cradle looks like a mangled mess, but hey it is off, which is what i wanted Now gunna order the bling effort and get the other bits I need, sorted.
