Removing and re-fitting tail lights

[rynaqui]

Make sure you get ALL the nuts off, I've seen 2 nuts on one stud on an avant I was stripping for parts, thought I'd got them all off and started tugging, it did not end well..

Ouch that doesn't sound good

Why would there have been two nuts??

It was one of the one's that's out of sight, low down on the outside edge, I reckon the person bolting the lights in forgot they'd put one there and doubled up. Always worth a look with a torch and a mirror if it seems stuck.

A good hairdryer, and heat the metal from the inside the boot which will heat up the existing black goo more directly.

I always have a can of Zippo lighter fuel handy for solvent type cleaning jobs.

Hot air gun can be too powerful and you have to be too careful with it for this job, imho.

Ruffiano, what is the diameter of the seal you put?
