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?

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.

Keep working it back and forth slowly

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:
