URGENT boot lock removal??

[boya]

I am in the middle of changing the number plate housing and I can't get the lock removed from the housing?? I have removed the 10mm bolt that secures it but it won't budge?? Help!! Lol

It's a while since I did mine, I think it's just the one bolt but I imagine it's seized in there from the anodising of the number plate light surround. Give it some careful physic and it should come.

Once the bolt is out, the cable dissconnected and the electrical plug has been dissconnected, you have to turn the lock through 90 degrees (so the securing bolt hole turns toward you). Then it should pull away with a bit of wiggling!
