trying to locate the non obvious bolts, im sure this has been dont to death, can someone point me to a good post pls?? ???

Hope this helps

Three bolts in inner side of A pillar - One in over top of upper hinge from inside the other two are further down the A pillar. You will see a access gap in this pillar that allows a 1/4 or 3/8 inch type sockets and extension. Not sure of exact size  ::) ::) ;D

The majority of the others are easier to access.

Cheers

its the top one thats not so obvious, the others stick out more cos the access point have to go somewhere  >:( made me bit grumpy  >:( >:( >:(

As Craig said - use a 3/8 drive socket set with extension handle - it fits perfectly. If you use a 1/2 inch drive socket it will not go on the bolt

Thanks guys, Everything is too original on this thing ha ha.

I thought id leave the easiest til last but it turns out once located, i used a 10mm 1/4 in extension to reach them easily but the lhs bottom on is in a bit of an angle and looks to be in very poor condition. This one may need some convincing and doesnt want to play fair with the bendy 3/8 adaptor. might have to find my 1/4 bendy/uni thingy. funny how they are so small and very fine thread. are there any ones at the front that i might have missed?

From memory there are at least two screws that join the guard to the front section under the grill. There may also be some that attach to the side of the grill assy. Other than that there are the two bolts that hold the lower guard in place down under the sill. Hope this helps.

There shouild be no more to remove from the inside if you have removed the three bolts.
