Scooter Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Undone three screws in the arch, one 10mm bolt underneath, it's still very tight to the body/arch at the rear. Is there 'just' a clip left or am I missing something? I don't want to force it, ta in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Pretty sure it's a clip at the bottom but can check first thing tomorrow for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 That would be much appreciated if you could, a pic of the inside is proving hard to find as that would help me visualise things and which way to pull/twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 2 white clips, slide the panel backwards or fowards and itll come of the 2 clips which will remain on the body, pull them off and you can break the clips or bend the slots for the clips on the moulding.

Scooter Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Cheers, makes sense! Will give it a 'gentle' go over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Ok so managed the second one yesterday without incident, the first I cracked one slot on the hockey stick (easily super glued back together) So I'll try and add pics later to assist but my best explanation is as follows. Remove the 3 screws in the wheel arch and one (10mm) bolt from below. Then wiggle the main section (nearer the wheel) out towards you, brace your thumbs on the body work as that'll help you ease it free rather than wrenching it free! Once that's loose you have to gently rotate the piece about the last remaining clip at the rear, so that the plastic and upright clear the wheel arch bodywork as the next stage you have to gently slide everything rearwards (I can't for the life of me see why they didn't have it so it slid out forwards!). This last stage is where I cracked one piece, the insides of these hockey sticks is often filled with dirt/mud and so a hose/clear out may help the final release, but the main thing is being firm in pressure in the exact plane of the clip.

Scooter Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Couple of pics to help visualise. I went to pop them back (half) on for these pics but can see that being er challenging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ok just to follow up, on putting these back, use some grease on both bits, you need to sort of bend the rear slot up from below to get it up to the clip on the bodywork before it will slide on (there is a bit of a knack to it so just be patient!), the front clip is then easy to slide on (If you have rear bumper off i'd put these back on first).
