Scort_CVH Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 You need to take the mask off so it yours is only fitted to the backing at the top and side you wont need the bumper off, if there fitted together properly better get the 13mm ratchet spanner out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that's gash, what a stupid design lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 i can remove my morettes without removing my bumper. gril offbendy extension to get to inner bottom bolt for lightremove 2 top boltsand wiggle out. or if its a bit tight,just remove the end screw in the bumper so you can carefully prise down the bumper under the light.

GUMBALL3000 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I have taken my morettes apart many times. I just use a wobbly extension bar and seem to be able to do it without removing anything or getting under the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Taking the bumper off will be fine, the nuts won't be seized on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Far easier to simply take the bumper off. It doesn't take long & makes the chances of damaging plastics far less.Car up on axle stands bumper off nice clear access to the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive done it before, it was ok but I only had the one jack and a spanner, no rachet, I think that was why it sucked. Cars off for a week tomorrow for the sills to be replaced so ill be without for next week anyway. Hopefully Stevemo has sent out my morettes so I can mod them in my time off.
