boost monkey 0 Posted July 21, 2008 1. drop the exhaust and unbolt from underneath. Disconnect cables from gearbox. 2. 2 'studs' and 2 bolts. Undo those and then undo the bottom of the steering column from the U/J (universal Joint). 10mm bolt by the pedals ftw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boost monkey 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah I have no idea how the stud bits come out, I'm guessing drillage as per Stevo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah, bolt grippr don't touch them, I tried other suggested methods like hacksaw and chissels but drilling is easiest (with a decent metal drill bit) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveo29 0 Posted July 23, 2008 give the shear bolts a sharp tap with a chisel and hammer so that the hammer blow bashes it anticlockwise...they come undone easy enough after a few taps replace with normal bolts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
