   can't help you sorry. Maybe try just using an adjustable spanner, are you short for space in there?

   I'm sure someone on here can help you, i've never been under a saxo so i wouldn't know, but i'll be doing my fogs in the near future so it would be useful for me to know too!

    ye crowbar all the clips out. but i'd remove them as a last resort cos then you might need to go into the hassle of ordering new clips and possibly not refitting the liners back to how they were , one of mine just wont sit tightly

    i took my fogs off with everthing still on the saxo, fiddly but not impossible.
    i used a long socket extension with a wobble bar.

    use a extension bar bout 3 inches long, undo the bolt using a totx t25 i think between arch liner and the bit that attatches to front bumper, then bend it dwn and just using your hand you can twist the extension bar to get it out.
