MysticBlueStorm 0 Posted April 10, 2005 fla If you use the thin chrome handled engineering style screw drivers (you need to bend the end to get it to locate in the screw head correctly - see new switch to note angle), you can get thin nosed pliers on the screw driver handle to start the screw off - I had the same problem.

fla 9 Posted April 11, 2005 MysticBlueStorm, did that mate. The problem was more the screw was done up so damn tight that there was insufficient torque on the screwdriver to open it. Sprayed some release oil and chisled part of the retaining bracket and finally got there. Henny is right about perseverance on this little job. I had the clocks out too (coincidentally) which did make it somewaht easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 11, 2005 Why did you remove the steering column adjuster knob? :? You have to in order to remove the upper column cowling, hence why it's removable by merely undoing one 10mm nut :lol: I found it a lot easier doing it from above.
