Hi there

I need help with the rear hutch strut screw bolt.
There are two screw bolts on each side. One side was easy to get off both screw bolts.
But in the other side it was easy with only one screw bolt, the second one is hard as heck to get off. And I notice while I try to get the screw bolt off that the screw bolt is lose, lose from the screw hole it should be thight on. And it looks like that the screw hole the screw bolt shall be locked on is stripped. And then I notice that it looks like that they used a bolt ring underneath to hold the screw bolt in place becouse of the stripped "bolt hole".

How can I reach under the metal body part to reach that bolt ring that holds the bolt screw attached?!

I tried to remove the parts from the inside of the trunk but there is no way to reach the bolt screw ring, neither from the rear lights either.


Please help me

 

Well that's a tough one. There really isn't a big enough opening anywhere. Best approach is to re-thread the hole with a tap. You need to know the thread size.

 

I manage to get that bolt out, but it is as I suspected that the bolt hole is way to big.
So I can not put any bolt there.....do you think there is a way to make that hole smaller?
