I've taken the front wings off to check for corrosion, tart up and get the car ready for when I get my newly sprayed wings back.

There wasn't as much corrosion as I thought there would be, so I am just wire brushing the few rust spots and spraying underseal around to give a good cover.

Unfortunately, one of the studs that hold the front bracket in place sheared off, so I will have to drill that out and use a rivnut or similar.

Is there a How To anywhere that describes front wing removal and perhaps more importantly, refitting?

I'll look forward to that "How To" as it will be the next job at the end of the summer for me to do the front wings on the F


Thanks Clive

From what I can remember there were two bolts at the bottom, two / three in the wheel arch and one on a metal strap thing near the indicator.

Been busy today.

Repaired the sheared stud. It now has a stainless nutsert and stud.

I then removed all the old flaky chip resistant paint with a drill and a wire wheel. Cleaned up some of the rust spots too.

And then sprayed with waxoil.

Here you go http://www.the-t-bar.com/forum/22-cjj-s-guides/91234-how-to-remove-the-front-wings#141422

I will add to it if I need to when I refit the wings.
