Hi all,
Attempted to replace the rear axle mounts on my '10 mk 2 Partner yesterday.
I've searched the forums and got Rustscrat's very useful diagram of the rear axle assembly showing the aperture for the T50 etc.
Here : http://www.berlingoforum.co.uk/thread-6201.html
My question to you fine gents is, what happens when you put the T50 up through the aperture to loosen the bolt and it keeps spinning?
Does it require me to cut into or drill into the body? This seems like a mental idea. Surely there must be a panel to open somewhere to gain access?
How did they get the nut on in the first place?
I've seen it mentioned in passing on this forum post

And he appears to say that he had to cut into the chassis to hold the bolt while he used the Torx T50 to loosen from below.
Yesterday I had a look on the floor on the van, which required removing some of the ply, and I couldn't see an access plate.
The channel in which the nut is located appears to me to be solid with no openings anywhere underneath?
Any help would be much gratefully received! Thanks in advance gents.
