hey,
i got a whole bunh of surface rust showing up behind my rear bumper, so im going to get rid of it before it takes over, only problem is i can remove the bumber, i figured out that you cant remove it with at removing the mounts as one piece, but the two bolts on either side are located above the fuel tank, i tried connecting all the knuckles on my sockets to get up there but theres to much movment to get any leavage, note: my driveway is split level and covered in pebles!
thanks

its tricky, but not hard http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

there is 4 large bolts under rubber plugs in the back of the car(indside near spare tyre) and 1 bolt on each side in the inside also, then 2 bolts in each wheel arch small ones one on bottom edge one on inside edge of arch, aswell as losing your mudflaps, it will come out all in 1 piece

there is NONE under the car.

* oh just re-read, the ones under the plugs must be the ones your having trouble with, get a piece of steel tubing to fit over the end of your wrench to lever it with, should come off WAY easier, thats if your socket reaaches it! good luck

you need to go from inside the boot not under the fuel tank
