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! |

Mission accomplished.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544665196.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544665197.2.jpg) We removed the Lateral Grill, the deck lid, the battery, and the old bracket. We drilled holes in the new bracket where we would plug weld it eventually. We attached the new bracket with sheet metal screws using the outline of where the old bracket was and remounted the deck lid. The deck lid was just a hair long, so we removed it again, repositioned the bracket and remounted the lid. It was then spot on. We removed the lid again and welded the bracket. It helped that the deck lid, lateral grill and battery were out. It especially helped that my partner in crime is a MUCH better welder than I am. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
