Worst bolt ever
Skip now has a brand new rear light cluster on the left side, but, I think the bolt in the corner was specifically designed to be the most inaccessible EVER!

and it's so well hidden, lots of people don't find it, think they've taken all the fixings out and try to lever the cluster off with a screwdriver. Disaster - explains all the chips around the sides

Of all the tools I have got, the only one that worked was a Facom ratchet handle from my late dad.
At least the leak in the boot is gone. Was nit the rear window, yay

I honestly don't recall struggling with the clusters, but then again, I had removed all the interior trim before attempting their removal.

Re: Worst bolt ever
And that would be the wisest option, but when I saw the amount of work involved I opted for the 3 Ss option: Struggle/Sweat/Swear
