  View original topic: fender bolts are stuck

OK I was trying to take the fender bolts off of my bug last weekend and the 2 bolts on the front left fender got stuck. I think it is probably rust. Is there any solutions that anyone has to help me take off the 2 bolts?

Go inside the trunk, from here you can access the threads of all the bolts. Get some Nutblaster or the equivalent on the threads. Be patient...let it soak, if you're not, you WILL be rewarded with a broken bolt, or if there is enough corrosion maybe even a pulled nutzert! Always turn the bolt back in a thread or two, for everyone out, it will unload the threads and make your job easier. Again patience. Remember to chase those threads with the proper tap before you put on the new hardware.
