Front Wing Removal

Post by tommysb »

Trying to remove the front wing from the breaker Volvo... is it possible without removal of the door? There seem to be 2 bolts which are right in the door hinge, and as far as I can tell, inaccessible.

It's a G reg 5 door if that's significant.

Undo the check strap and use a 1/4 drive ratchet with 10mm on, fits fine.

This is the one.. But you'll need a 1/4" extension aswell.
