ok so i have been trying to get my wing off (tightened) for a few days now. i found this thread on how to remove it, but i cant get those two 10mm bolts loose, whatever is behind the wing that they are bolted to is just spinning freely under there or something...the bolt just turns but wont loosen....any ideas on how to get some grip under there for those bolts? i dont want to break the wing i just need to get it to stop RATTLING:cry: (92 ECLIPSE)....on yea and its the wing that doesnt have that gap under it...its the solid piece wing
 
Sounds like the threaded coil has broken away from the plastic,in which case your pretty much screwed.only thing i can suggest is getting a electric impact gun and as you are backing out the bolt angle the gun to put some resistance on the threaded coil in hopes to get the bolt to come out. If that doesnt work your gonna have to cut the bolt off somehow.
good luck.
