Went from this when I got it looking very girly


and after I removed bull bars, wheel arch trims and some standard wheels


just need to remove the stupid side steps :/


Anyone got any tips for removeing nylock nuts without involveing heat, as I dont have access to heat.

Good soaking of wd40 and a breaker bar- if not its grinder time

Just a standard spanner or socket set
The nylon only stops them from vibrating off if they get a little loose.

These are nylocks around the chassis that hold the side steps on so no access to them with a hack saw, I dont want to damage the clamps cause id like to re sell the steps.
the nylocks are coming half way or right to end of the thread and getting stuck, dont want to force them and get them stuck encase I cant do them back up if the others wont come off.
grinder would work but iv only got an air grinder and no compressor.

You could just shear them off if they won't come depending on your plans.

I was thinking that but dont know how easy it is to come across the new clamps to hold the steps on :/

Picture of offending clamps, x4 of these, 8 nylocks.

Access to the top one looks a b*****d.

I'd soak 'em in WD40 or penetrating oil and just try and work them off.
