mk3 RS200 Cup pack - bottom strut bolt removal

[Neil E]

Nearside nut and bolt came of easily, offside bolt seems seized (nut is off though).
Any tips on removal? I’ve already soaked overnight with wd40 and hit the end with a hammer but no joy!! Bolt will turn with effort using a bat and socket but no movement laterally
Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Hammer and an impact gun generally will do it.

It’s not too much work to drop the whole lot out. I’d do that and then you have plenty of access to sort it out on the floor.

Thanks - I’ll give that a try 👍🏻

So you wouldn’t recommend heat!
