Rear Height Sensor

I've tried to remove the two torx bolts so I can remove the sensor, they just spin around and around.

Anyone else had this issue and managed to get around it?

I need the sensor off to remove the bolt that holds the tie arm on. Christian.

Sorted it now, if anyone is interested

I had to get the dremel out and cut the heads off. Then drilled and punched out the inserts with bolt thread still present.

Appears that the bolts are held by a captive thread insert in the plastic body which just spin around and around as the bolt has corroded to them.

I'll replace with M5 pan head bolts and nuts.
