I'm trying to get to my center support bearing and am stuck at square 1.
I can't get the tension strut off, unlike the other posts here I had no issue getting the T50 torx screws it's the 18 mm bolts that I can't get off
Looking at the attached images, it's item #1 that I can't get off. The bolt is spinning with the nut on the inside of the bar and I don't have anything that fits in there to hold the nut in place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
