<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,153)">Partial success! Two of the three bolts have given up the fight! Yes!! I found a good-enough combination of just the right tools, at just the right angle, plenty of Aero Kroil penetrant and a not too awkward body-position to get the top and middle bolts loosened. They have let go of their respective slots. But I have a feeling the bottom bolt will need me to use a Dremel and cut-off tool, though there's very little room to get in there.... <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,153)">Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind for when I move over to the other side of the car..... I almost went the combat engineer route!!!<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,153)">Dave Friedlander<br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 1:26 PM, J.C.

I replaced those 3 caged nuts with speed nuts as used on the 4 and above cars for fender (wing) attachment.<br>
