Lets get naked - Clam removal

Post by Sanjøy » Thu Jun 15, 2006 10:25 am

As you all know when it comes to oily bits I am dumb as dog doo.

Anyone fancy a spanner session to help me get mine off to get at the tow eye bracket and sort my horn ?

Yeah, looks pretty spot on. Only thing to mention is hope that you get no spinning bolts. Then it can be a case of taking a dremel to bits of sill...

Clam was off / loosen a few months back for a new windscreen so hopefully not too bad.
