Is there a trick to get this removed at all please ?

I’ve removed the 4 bolts that are inside the boot but cant get all the screw / bolts off that mount the bottom part of it to the frame.

I’ve got a couple off but the two (near the exhaust) that hold the longer apron just keep spinning and I can’t get behind to grip the captive-nut that secures it. Any tricks at all please ?

Please don’t tell me I need to remove the number ?

If you apply downward pressure to pull the captive nut tight. You might get lucky, a good dose of penetrating fliud on the nut too.

Thanks for the advice, I've got some axle-stands so will hopefully be able to get underneath it this weekend and attack it again.
