I have tried everything to get into this thing. The rear trunk latch is obviously destroyed and I am just about at the point of drilling the thing out to get inside and install another. I tried opening up the underside access panel just above the transmission but that wont budge either.
Has anyone ever drilled on out? And if so, what was your technique and how did you get the sucker open after? I have seen the latches posted on ebay for about 10 bucks so I dont mind replacing just wondering if that is my ticket to get inside. Any help is appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

That should read "remove the two 10mm bolts that hold..." Get yer shit straight Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Last time I checked, a 6mm x 1.0 bolt with a 10 mm socket head was properly referred to by any knowledgeable mechanic or engineer type as a "6mm". Leave the Cap'n alone Calm down old dog, I was just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) the Cap'n. I understand nomenclature for describing fastener sizes, you understand it and I'm fairly certain the Cap'n does too. But it doesn't sound like others do (see a few posts up from this, someone asks if it's 10mm or 6mm). For those that don't know, saying a 10mm socket in one sentence, and then a 6mm bolt in another sentence could be confusing. As for the Cap'n, don't worry about me picking on him, he is more than adept at sticking up for himself. He is world famous on this board for being outspoken and crass. But don't think I disrespect him, I think he knows more about (and is correct in) his 914 information as anyone I've seen on this board. We can't bash him for being wrong about things, because it doesn't happen (if it does, I haven't heard about it). But when he does write something that could've been better, at least have the decency to let us poke him about it a little bit! |
