mdmatt Member 70 Member For: 11y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 19/04/14 11:51 AM Share Posted 19/04/14 11:51 AM Hey guys... Sorry if this seems a bit silly but this seems a nightmare so you may have an idea...My g6e turbo has the tow bar attached and has for some time now (I've never used it and think it looks hideous sticking out the back)... I've tried cracking both bolts to remove this but they won't budge at all (have used some force) and extensions etc..Any ideas on the best way to remove this whole thing?

Wd 40? Mine was never that hard to undo. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88040-towbar-removal-g6e-turbo/#findComment-1466461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the tounge on mine, just incase some number plates need destroying or someone want to love tap me from behind. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88040-towbar-removal-g6e-turbo/#findComment-1466471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
