[QUOTE="Htotheunit, post: 621313, member: 1611"] Thought I'd update you. Left hand side came out with 'gentle' persuasion. Right hand side? No chance. I've cut an access panel and pulled out the captive nut metal strip thing, realising it far too seized to get the now headless screws out, i've taken a grinder to my old engine lid (rusty and dented so probably no good to anyone, got a new one ready to go) and removed the hinge attachment from there which is very similar, going to cut it down, get it in the space where i pulled the old one from, bend some more metal and move on. Sounds a bit like i'm butchering the poor girl but there was no other option, I really made a meal of the screw extraction haha!
