Common problem - small hacksaw or Dremel is usually recommended to cut
through the nuts being careful not to damage the threads on the wheelbox.

With dash and screen off it is all nuts and bolts, but you may be able to
see enough by removing the splash-plate that runs vertically at the back of
the wheel arch. Correctly realigning the wing again may be time-consuming,
but if the fit is not ideal now ...
