If you drop the undertray from the front, you can get access to the wishbone nuts.

Drill out the rivets on the alloy brackets, then replace with pop rivets when you put it back.

Lots have not replaced the alloy covers.

Thread resurrection alert...
Can you definitely get at the bolt by just removing the alloy bracket / cover? Sounds easier than dropping the front undertray judging by how many posts there are that mention a Dremel.

Yes. Don't let the nut roll back, that's a pain to fish out.

It's a dozen bolts. Which are often corroded. Half of which are under my splitter. Which is bolted through the front clam. Which needs the headlights taking out to get to the bolts. So in the interest of time the cover sounds quicker.Front undertray is only half a dozen bolts...
