Rear Wheel Arches

[axelgs1]

Hi everyone,

Can any one give me some advice on how to take off the rear drivers side wheel arch extension. Mine has had a scrape and am renewing it with a replacement. I had a go at taking it off last weekend but the thing seems dam solid once the cross head screws have been removed. Am I missing other fixings. Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards

Andy

Removing rear Wheelarches

There are 2 plastic inserts inside the plastic wheel arch which hold bolts captive - these bolts stick through the inner steel wheelarch and if you rummage on the inside of the steel wheel arch you'll find the nuts that hold them.

Thanks for a quick reply Jimbo
Being a bit dim do I have to remove the inner cover?

Thanks mate

The inner cover is bolted on using the hex head self tappers like the ones used on the plastic wheel arch. I have never removed one completely, there should be enough room to slide your hand in when you've removed the ones round the edge, that's what I did. It's a while ago since I did it, but I don't remember having a problem.

Just undo the 4 phillips screws (ones under the sill), drill out the 2 rivets(top of the wheel arch look like washers) and pull it off..
