You're welcome. It's easier to check it now than finding out once the engine is all back together ;)

I'm trying to remove the two screw of the cross brace.
The screw on the right seems to unscrew easily but the one from the left doesn't coming, and I don't want to break it.

The car sits on the frame for now, so no strength on these screw?

Any advice to remove those screws please?

Is it stuck tight? Or spinning?

It's spinning a little bit, but now it does not move.
I don't want to break it, so I put some WD40 on it.

I will try to raise up the front a little bit, but not on the frame like we can see on the picture above.
Maybe the car is not really flat so there is a strength on the bolt.

I try gently but it looks like the bottom nut "swimming"?
It should not be welded to the frame?
I'm not sure, but it seems that there are as a location and the nut is twisted?
Well I stop I losing patience :evil:
