tools needed to remove a rear beam?
#1
Hi all,

ive managed to find a good rear beam local to me on a car for breaking and have to remove it myself,

I know it bolts through the floor, does anyone know what tools ill need to make it easier/quicker for me?

cheers

socket set. (deep sockets) & extension bars

pair of grips. depending on how you plan to release you hand brake cable

brake pipe spanners

Jacks and axel stands

and at least 1 friend makes things much easier


It is just a case of releasing hand brake / disconecting brake lines. Then undoing the 6 beam bolts in the floor

Just a deep 16mm and something to cut pipes for a scrapper beam tbh! Beams are easy to remove and not all that heavy after you've done a few, just an awkward shape really.

You will need to drop the exhaust down too. Or remove the backbox.

The end of the middle section of the exhaust gets a little in the way to.
