I was trying to remove the rubber front bumper from a '79 MGB last night.
The heavily rusted bolts inside the drivers side fender well broke. OK, I
can drill them out later. The bolts inside the passenger side fender well
came off easy; go figure.
The Nuts inside the engine bay came off easy, since they'd been protected.
Not so the nuts on the underside of the bumper which have been exposed to the
elements. I thought the nut was turning, but the (bolt? threaded stud?) is
what is actually turning.
*&#$@! How am I going to get this bumper off? At this point I'm looking at
getting one of those wire hacksaws and cutting thru the remaining two bolts.
Does anybody have a better idea? This area isn't exactly accessible for a
torch.
thanks in advance for any help
