2"body lift at the weekend

[elty001]

Just had and hour giving all the nuts and bolts a soak in penetrating oil and checking that all body to chassis fittings will take the lift.:thumbs
As long as everything plays nice I should have it done over the weekend no problems.
Will get plenty of pics for all of you that have asked:thumbs

Been out working on mine today, getting her ready for the upcoming MOT, and
while under I decided to check out the body mountings...

The rear N/S undid easily, so I tried the Rear O/S, but the captive nut is turning... I can't see how to get to the top side to spray oil in there, can you give me any clues please...

No way ho-say. You'll have to cut it
The captive nut bit is in an enclosed bit of truck, so a spanner size hole is needed.

what pete said,,,,,if you take the back bumper off you can cut a nice sized hole there to get at it then just put a zip of weld to stitch up the whole from surgery, 3 cuts is all thats needed to make a flap to pull open and slide ya tool in :naughty

can you not get a mig tip in there to re secure it?

Youch.....

 

[elty001]

the captive nut is under here somewhere so just fire a load of wd40 in there to give it a good soaking.
you will only need to cut if the bolt shears off.

Where abouts on the car is that? I just went round all of my doors and boot, but do not have any blanking grommets like that.

 

[elty001]

you will have to remove the interior panel in the boot to see that.
not an actual pic of mine its one in the fitting instructions for the kit on xpajun website.
