I tried to loosen the four bolts that hold in the column bracket but they seem to be very tight. Are they a left hand thread ( even though no markings ) or are they probably seized. @ chris with a pug or any one who has removed them before, were they a b*tch to loosen?Thanks Richard. |

do you mean the actual steering column or the big metal bracket that atatches to the bulk head?The black nut type bolts are left hand threads I think, but the rest are normal. |

those are left hand thread But i cannot be 100 percent sure as it has been a while. You do need to remove the bolts going through them from the engine bay first |

yep either one or two are left threads, as they have bolts going through the other side.. make sure you loosen them too or you won't get very far  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

OLD THREAD RESURRECTION WARNINGTried removing this bracket the other day (incidentally they were just normal thread) and whilst I admit I only took off three (as the bottom left meant getting under the car) the thing simply wouldn't even budge. I know it won't come off until the fourth one is out but I'd have expected some movement at the top at least. Are there more then just the four bolts through from the bulkhead? Do I have to remove pedals or anything? Taar. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I've taken out the four (well, three so far) long bolts from the engine bay into the back of the bracket, but gave up when that didn't do it. So there are nuts on the inside as well? As I say it was only a last minute give-it-a-go as I was finishing up so didn't look all that carefully. So these are on the cabin side? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

i mean the big actualk 20mm-ish nuts which hold the bracket itself on.. they have the bolts in the engine bay going into them on the other side. is that what you've removed? sorry if you have done this but the actual big nuts remove from the inside________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Literally all I've done is remove the bolts that go in from the engine bay side, I didn't remove anything from the inside. So no, I haven't removed the nuts from the inside, that'd do it  So the pedals and everything stay as they are, there's nothing else that relies on the bracket for support? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

yep pedals can stay in i think, i might have removed accelerator pedal but this was like one bolt to whip it off, never removed brake or clutch just remove them 4 massive nuts that go into the steering column. as said above, i think some are left-threaded so need to turn them the opposite way to loosen them. forget which are which basically the 4 big nuts (circled on pics above) ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Aaaaaaaaaah so the actual nuts themselves need to unscrew as well? That was the sound of a penny dropping. I assumed they were just welded to the bracket, didn't realise they had to come off as well.

nope! they come off that's why some are left-threaded [so your bolts can screw in from the back in the engine bay to secure it] ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

looking at it, yes, you'll need to remove the accelerator cable as it passes through this bracket from the side. simple though, will be obvious when you loosen it all________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
