Trying to change the air con condenser and 3 of the 4 bolts came off no problem, looks like someone attempted it and rounded off the last one (bottom right), moved the radiator to try and get at it from the back and no luck. Can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks

Mick

I think someone posted that they drilled the bolt. Never done that job but the post wasn't so long ago so worth a search.
