Title: guard removal Post by: philby26 on January 18, 2010, 10:15:49 PM hi all
I'm after some suggestion on how to get my guard off to do some repairs what parts do i take off. Does the grill have to come out first? etc or would it be easy do it on the car? my mate that is going to do it says it would be easier with it off especially the rear peace it needs a head light panel and a Top rear section fitted Title: Re: guard removal Post by: TTV6FC on January 19, 2010, 10:46:08 PM Generally don"t need to take the grille out but there are a lot of bolts which attach the guard to the grille.You also need to undo the light harnesses,the outer bumper bolts and the three bolts in behind the drivers side kick panel.All the others are fairly obvious.Cheers,Jamie.

I haven't tackled it yet but that bolt got me concerned now will have a look soon cheers Phil Title: Re: guard removal Post by: mcl1959 on January 26, 2010, 06:04:54 PM The easiest way to remove the bolt is to get out your old cheap and nasty 3/8 drive socket set. The extension bar with socket JUST fits past the door hinge bracket and will remove the bolt nicely.
You do have to be lying on your back though to see where you are going. :P A 1/2 inch drive extension wont fit.
