supermike Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Trying to remove my centre console but the two bolts under the handbrake are pretty well seized!!! Anyone had this problem before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortySco Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Assuming you mean the same ones, this person seems to have had this problem.http://civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=743To summarise, he says the honda has screws which are exposed to the elements under the car, apparently the rover and MG use bolts instead which might fare better. As for removing the screws, he had to drill one out, not sure what you can do except persevere, have you tried putting a bit of wd-40 on it?

Dave Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yeah Mike these two screws are an absolute nightmare to get off.have you tried wd40-ing them from underneath the car, so it goes right onto the rusty part of the screw? you prob will have to drill em out. If you can, get the 2 bolts from a rover 400/45, so much better! Dunno why honda didnt use them in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermike Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hmmmm if i manage to get a jack under the car again i will spray them with loads of WD40 Getting the jack underneath the other day for removing the brakes was a task! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
