110 HICAP Towbar problem - HELP!!

A

adam4838

In Second Gear
Hello,

I am after some advice about the fixing bolts which attach the drop plate on a tow bar into the 2 large holes on the rear crossmember.

I have just tried to remove my old tow bar as I am upgrading to a HICAP one to give me extra trailer clearence. Whilst undoing the large bolts one of them sheared / broke the static nut weld inside the cross member. I had to grind them off and I am now stuck with 2 bolt ends sticking out of the holes and no way of refitting my new towbar.

Has anybody ever done this before? I cant believe I am the only one!

If anybody can see a way round removing these bolts and refitting new ones I am open to suggestions!

Cheers,

Adam
 
if you knock them towards the front of the car, they will come past the x member, possibly enough to get a cutting disc up to nip them off. either that or its fuel tank removal time.
the nuts that have come off are welded onto a reinforcing plate, not the x member.
