Thanks Nick. Low and behold ground away a piece of the plate that had been welded in and there is the bolt.

Still working on getting it out as it is well rusted in. Need a larger hammer i think.

I will have another go on the weekend and then start on the other side.

I am trying to remove the front subframe and have a problem with the lower bolts that bolt through the sill. I have been able to take off the nuts but do not have access to the head of the bolts in the sill. Should there be an access point from the sill side that may have been previously covered up as there does appear to be welding in the area.

Any ideas on how I should go about removing the bolts.

At this stage I am considering cutting a hole in the outer side of the sill  to get access.

Advise appriciated.

New to the forum although have viewed many times. I am in the process of stripping the car and am having trouble with the hand brake cable. The pully it runs through just after coming throuhg the fire wall. I have removed the split pin assuming the pully would just come off but to no avail. I have tried some brut force with a large screw driver but it won't come off. Is there any tricks to getting this off so i can pull the cable out as i don't want to wreck it.
