The good news is that the rear valence is still good enough to hold on to those bolts, many have already dissolved in that area especially around the bottom cage nut.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
had issues like this. These three bolts <i>must </i>be removable because many <br>
of you have done it. :- ) But these are more challenge than I have encountered <br>
before.... I managed to squirt some penetrant up to the back of the middle <br>
and upper bolts. The head on the bottom one is rounded and the back end <br>
of that bolt is a rusted stem. To add insult to injury, these bolts aren't <br>
even accessible to a cut-off wheel! <br>
<br>
As always, I'll just keep trying...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, A box wrench should do the trick, but they may be rusted as others have mentioned.<br>
<br>
I replaced those 3 caged nuts with speed nuts as used on the 4 and above cars for fender (wing) attachment.<br>
