Pissin myself laughing..... Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: customFC on May 15, 2009, 12:26:35 AM Get a big claw hammer and lever it off.
. . . . . . . Before you put it back on, you will have to turn it over and loosen the small grub screw. Regards Alex Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: Ed on May 15, 2009, 08:57:29 AM find the grub screw?
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: EffCee on May 15, 2009, 09:57:27 AM If all else fails you could get the oxy out, heat it till it glows bright red, this will allow the know to expand enough to release from the seat lever, (will more than likely set fire to the seat) Better to remove the seat as you don't want your car to catch fire.
Once off, cool, then loosen grub screw for reinstallation. (May as well get it rechromed too as there won't be any chrome left on it) ;D ;D Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: ridgey_didge on May 15, 2009, 10:40:03 AM I've always done it this way -
1. Hold the allen key in a vice attached to work bench. 2. Place the grub screw in the seat handle on allen key* and turn as far as possible. 3. Lift screw off allen key, rotate the job and repeat step 2. 4. Keep repeating step 3 as many times as necessary. To reinstall do these steps in reverse. * Removal of the seat from the car first is entirely optional. ;) Cheers David Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: Johns on May 15, 2009, 03:41:38 PM That's all Ok, but how do you get the one on the passengers side off ???
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: Paul In Ireland on May 15, 2009, 04:17:50 PM Well, first of all get an allen key..... ;D
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: ridgey_didge on May 15, 2009, 05:38:43 PM Quote how do you get the one on the passengers side off You need an allen key that turns in the other direction for that side. Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: EffCee on May 15, 2009, 06:52:50 PM A left handed Allen key.
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: oldgmh on May 15, 2009, 08:33:24 PM Come on guys - stop taking the piss out of the bloke - all he wants to do is remove his knob. ::) ::)
The correct way to do it is : pull it very hard ( maybe a couple of pulls ) and you should feel it when it happen and releases..... so keep pulling until it happens ... :o :o Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: colt on May 15, 2009, 09:06:30 PM Don't forget to cough as you pull on your little Allen Key. It'll come easier.
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: NES304 on May 16, 2009, 09:06:48 PM Do I dare ask for the placement of the little black foam pieces that comes with the kit?
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: oldgmh on May 16, 2009, 10:38:29 PM no
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: NES304 on May 17, 2009, 07:09:06 PM Seriously, where do they go?
Title: Re: Seat surround handle Post by: customFC on May 17, 2009, 09:09:38 PM The spacers go behind the 2 screws on the upright sections.
The screws pass through the middle. Regards Alex |
