How to remove broken and rusted running board brackets from a ford expedition?
Took off on a dirt road in my expedition and slid into a tree. I knocked off my drivers side mirror and the drivers side running board. The brackets for the running board are rusted and now twisted with the frame. I have tried relentlessly to remove them but can't. If anybody has any ideas on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Also need to be able to put on new brackets after removal.
Either drill the bolts out that are holding on the brackets. Or get an "easy out" from a hardware store. It is a drill bit with a reverse twist. You need a reversible drill.
Soak everything down with penetrating oil, like WD 40 or All in One oil to dissolve some of the rust, do it first.
- I have a ford mondeo that had broken down. I called AA and they ran it through their computer and it said fuel sensor problem. I went to a? Garage and they replaced the fuel sensor. I drove up the street and the car broke down again. Plugged it in at the garage and it said fuel sensor fault. The garage then took that fuel sensor out and put it back in the car it was from and it was working. What could be the problem?
- Had my ford transit broken into, door peeled in half, what would people recommend, van alarm or deadlocks and door strengthening? My van door was peeled in Half from top to bottom and cleared of everything inside. I'm thinking of getting an alarm that will go off if van is shaken or movement inside but I think this might be too late and the door damage done. Would I be better off getting visual locks for thief's to see then have my door reinforced inside out by my friend who's a welder.

- How safe is it to drive a car with a seriously rusted sub frame/frame? I have a 2003 ford focus. I recently brought it in because my power steering fluid was leaking.
