I am in the process of replacing the mast and need to clean the broken teath out of the motor. What is the best way to get the Plastic clips out that the bolts screw into?

jsteele

I just looked at the plasitc pieces and they have these numbers on them? PA6, NF10-1

are you talking about the cover? I think it takes 5 bolts..one in the middle...
you might want to get more grease in there. after you take out the rest of the old tracks, just close it up and turn on and off the stereo. have someone else turn off the stereo while you feed in the new cable.

the area I'm talking about is in the fender well. I'll take a picture later

These might not be the actual bolts needed to be removed. I took photos of the ones that I could see easily in the dark parking garage.

do yourself a favor and just drill out those plastic plugs. buy new plugs and clips from the dealer. save yourself the headache b/c I've done it both ways.

Hey jsteele,

What kind of rig do you have? It will be helpful if you place the year, model, engine, and transmission of your vehicle in your signature. A brief description of your vehicle will surely help us to help you.

bob is right on this one. it took me 30mins to get them out and i stabbed my hand with a screwdriver removing one of them. it's worth it to just get new ones

jsteele

As soon as the temp rises I'll drill those out. Makes life so much easier. Is there a part number or technical name for those pieces, so when I go ponie up the dough they know what I'm talking about? They should be pretty cheap or am I wrong on that?
