Steering support loose

Post by NoahDL88 »

Anybody have any tips or tricks about tightening the inboard end of the steering support bracket on the inside of the cabin, I can't get a wrench on the bottom side and the noise it makes is a little disconcerting.

I think cutting it and putting a new bolt in is a no go as I'll just have the bottom half stuck in instead of the whole thing.

You can't get a wrench on it? Did you remove the floor pan?

I removed the floor pan but there isn't much room at all, the piece it's bolted through doesn't leave enough room for even a stubby wrench.

I haven't looked at this bit but I found with the handbrake housing a ring spanner was the only tool I could get onto certain nuts.
