    Rusty Wheel Bolts cured!?

    Today I was in at my main dealer and they asked if I would like to replace my rusty wheel nuts with a new type.

    Hi, I have a w124 and currently it has a rest hole the size of my fist in the wing (my fist didn't make the hole either!). Can anyone detail to me the removal of the wing and what's involved? Can I do this with scanners and sockets or will grinders and welders be required to repair/replace?

    A few months ago I was giving the car a good clean and noticed a little bubbleing up inside the wheel arches, my initial thought was oh well this is why I've kept it within the MB dealer network (to preserve the 30yr corrosion warranty). Oh how wrong I was.... Letter to MB after numerous...
