<VV> EM rear cross member removal

[Western Canada CORSA]

I'll give this a bump as it appears no direct answer to your question was
posted to the list.

I haven't done it myself, but I seem to recall seeing posts that center
around the fact that if the nuts that hold the oxcollar won't move or break,
you've got to go in from the rear seat area by cutting a hole to get them
out.  Which means lots of penetrating oil and patience before you attempt to
get them off.

Correct me if I'm wrong here folks.

Regards,
Joel

Subject: <VV> EM rear cross member removal


Hi all,
Haven't posted in a really long time, my membership was listed with an
address two years back! I have a project 63 coupe that's on it's way to the
body shop for new floor pans and in preparation of making this a daily
driver. I have already pulled the drivetran out, and removed all the cables
and lines from under the car. I am at the point where I've been looking at
the cracked and hard as rock bushings and rubber cushions and I am thinking
of removing the rear cross member to replace them. This is one item I have
never attempted before and was looking for some advice about if it is worth
it. I drove the car home from the guy I bought it from, and it didn't seem
that bad, but I'm figuring I am just a few bolts and a some coin away from
getting it out, cleaning it up, por 15, and painting it. Any thoughts?
