i) it looks like hardboard rather than MDF


ii) It looks if the panel was fitted first and then that piece of
skirting board attached to the bath frame afterwards. Possibly it was
screwed to the frame and then the screw holes filled prior to painting.
The screws possibly go through the panel. You need to remove that piece
of skirting board.

wrecking bar good for that.

the WHOLE axle,. so you could te it in a vice to get the sodding brake
drums off...and then renove all the wheel cylinders...
