Thanks mate! Tbh, it was so far gone that the metal was pretty weak and after a bit of tugging, I was able to use the circlip pliers to bend it up...
So ended up drilling the bolts out ok. Took my time and no major issues. Got the dust seals off and water had got in, so the retaining clip on...

A crap 6 weeks. Busy at work, ill and terrible weather have all conspired to make it hard to get anything done on the VFR. I was all excited about...
