I need to replace the right side Bracket for Hinge Pillar (914 501 030 10)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544055999.1.jpg) It would be much easier if I could remove the right side Lateral Grill (914 504 012 10) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544056000.2.jpg) How is it fastened in? Thanks! |

Yikes! Not pretty pictures.
I think mine was probably one of the easy ones compared to most and certainly compared to what George has pictured. Mine is a one owner, SoCal car, no rust anywhere (hell hole, battery tray, laterals, etc). The runk opened and closed smoothly. The only indication that something was amiss was that the right front corner of the runk lid was proud by about 1/8". In looking for a way to make it right I discovered the hinge bracket somewhat bent and held on by sheet metal screws. Evidently, lubing these pivot points had been neglected. The bracket had not torn the sheet metal below it when the welds broke. I can certainly see that if the job is complicated by rust, torn metal, repairs needed to the hell hole, etc. that removing the engine is a good idea and probably essential. |
