Post rear wing removal, any tips? bolts stuck fast
Hi,

trying to remove both rear wings, bottom two screws on leading edge of both stuck fast, drowned both from front and behind with penetrating oil, but no joy, any tips?

It's standard. Grind the heads flat, centre punch them in the middle and drill through them with increasingly large bits until you get to a 4.2mm hole then tap M5*




*Assuming there's anything left of the C pillar to tap into.
