how do i get this off....

[antz]

this is the bracket for my washer bottle.

 

theres one bolt which i got off but theres this weird thing holding it to the inner wing.

 

 

its not a screw. it looks more like a big f**k off rivet. how do i get it off?

[Baz.]

angle grinder with a pad

[antz]

the one tool i dont bloody own i got every other tool in the history of mankind!...except an angle grinder

[trispage]

are you sure its not a cross head screw that has been rounded out ?? If so cut a slot for a flat head screwy and out she pops

[Trevmk3]

either the grinder like baz said or drill it, looks like its just a rivet

[Trevmk3]

try this first though in case it is a rounded off screw

[antz]

its definately not a screw. the black bit in the middle is some paint that looks like a screw its completely flat on top.

 

looks like a grinder....dont know how big a drill bit ill need

[Baz.]

its a rivet thats got a nut on the other side, you will have to use a pad or be bloody good with a wheel, you dont want to muller the bracket, gradually grind the head off then tap the rivet out

[antz]

thanks for your advice again baz

The nut is behind the strut mate, to do it properly the strut will probably have to be dropped

Maybe theres a nut on the inner wing side...

there is a nut on the other side behind the strut , took one of myself a couple of weeks ago, 10 mm spanner, not easy with the strut on though.

I couldn't live without my grinder... mind you if I didn't have one I probably wouldn't have cut the front of my car off

[fergus mk2]

i u dont car about the bracket use a hammer an chisel

[H.P.E harry]

I remember this on mine, could't work out how to get it off so left it on until i got it sprayed and asked him to grind it off.

[antz]

might just get the grinder on it cos im not dropping the strut. it was a bastard to fit in there

 

 

hmm......wonder if my dremel will work

[MightySprocket]

yep get the dremmel on it! works wonders and easier to control than a grinder

[Rick]

you dont wana have to go frinding to remove that

 

all the other methods sound great but you dont wana risk battering your car witha grinder...
