Having bought a rear step to help the kids clamber in to the back, I am struggling to fit it!
One of the bolts fitted no problem, but the other one comes through the crossmember into a boxed section that I can't get to to fit the washer and nut. Anyone else encountered this problem?
I am thinking of welding the step on one side, but it seems a bit too permanent.

I fitted one quite a while back, and vaguely seem to remember that it has a captive nut (at least for the one you can't get to). Not sure through, but seems logical.

Hi Pieter,
I hoped mine would too, but no such luck. I can't say I'm that surprised, this is pretty typical of my Land Rover experience so far!
Keep smiling,

They are both "captive" / threaded - or should be. Are you sure they aren't just full of road crap and rust after x years?
Sound advice, thanks Mike and Pieter. I checked again and found that it was indeed threaded, just full of rust and other crap. All fitted now!
