caled Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I found it worked easily enough with a mini socket wrench and a 13mm socket. Do you have aircon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have aircon? no, but i have with a great arse hole of a struggle get all bolts out (or so i thought) all bolts i can see are out eg. 1 either side of rad, 2 either arch, and it still wont ocm eout, its like the foamy rubbish is holding it on. what now? hope it doesnt get dark very quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two nuts either side & two screws either side of the arches.As above, you really need a wratchet spanner 13mm to make light work of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Here you go, this might make it a bit clearer for you. There are four nuts on the front cross member, two on each side, and I've highlighted them with the red arrows (well, the holes where the bolts would go)http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23872.jpg Incidentally, for those people with fogless bumpers, the blue connectors (circled) are for the front foglights if you want to upgrade to a fogged bumper. These are usually taped up under the arches and can be found easily when the bumper is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
