Well, maybe I was dreaming
Passenger side screw is out
The other one take a bath on WD40

It's a captive nut in chassis

[Domi]

All right, let's hope I won't damage it.

[A Van]

You can't if you take it easier

[Domi]

I hope you're right

So, I was able to remove the last screw. Below the screw, I have a square nut which I hold with a screw driver to avoid it to move.
A little bit rusty but I will clean them and they will be like new.

Let’s hope I will be able to do it again when I will be ready to put the cross brace back.
A few pictures, but sorry for the bad quality, I guess my camera is a little bit tired

Let’s do the other side…

You mean the exhaust pipes?
If so, it was hand made by a French company back to 1996 because it was unavailable at this time.
